I would like a dwarf apple tree. To be grown in a large pot on my allotment.
Something green/red and crisp. First, do I need 2 for pollination?
Second, any recomedations please. Thanks

In my experience "dwarf" apple trees grow quite large. One I had burst
out of a pot after just a year. It is now about ten feet high and ten
feet across. The apples are the James Greaves variety. For me they are
too crisp for eating but excellent for cooking.

I'd just be a little worried about a poted apple tree going walkabout
from the alotment, and before anyone else says it, I don't mean it
going on a root march.
