Stepover trees are used primarily for edging a border or pathway or to divide the kitchen/vegetable garden. These very tiny trees are just 18” in height with two side laterals from the main stem forming a capital ‘T’ shape. The stepover tree is an ormamental addition to your garden and these trees are grown on the Pixy rootstock. Plant 120-150cm’s apart.
Marjories Seedling is one of the best varieties and is suitable for all area’s. It is also recommended as a late-season extender and has fruits of very good quality.

Self fertile so may be grown as a sole tree. Also a good pollinator for other varieties.
