Apple Tree - Norfolk Beefing
The Norfolk Beefing, or Biffin, is first documented in Robert Walpole's Mannington Estate records from 1698. It was all the rage among Victorians; Dickens mentioned them several times and we still have recipes specifying them. Norfolk Beefings were typically baked at low temperatures, often in bread ovens after the bread was taken out. Norwich bakers used to send them to London by cart, then train.
By the early 1900s they were much less popular, for reasons that aren't clear. Many are still found around Norfolk, however. They are vigorous trees with attractive blossom.
Supplier: R.V. Roger Ltd.
See our section on Pollination Groups to help you select your apple trees.
We supply apple trees on the most vigorous rootstocks available. They were created specifically for use in the UK and produce healthy, heavy cropping trees for our weather conditions.
M106 produces a good garden sized apple tree, around 4 metres tall. Grown as a free standing tree it won't need staking, although initially best to use a cane to support your new plant. M25 rootstock will produce the 6m standard trees of a traditional orchard, where they would be planted between 6 and 8 metres apart. Please refer to our rootstock guide for details.
All our apple trees are bare root so they are only available between November and April. During lifting season, there will be a delay between placing the order and dispatching due to pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence, and the weather. Orders taken from June-October will be confirmed in late October/ early November after a nursery stock take, for dispatch from November.
Your purchase helps us support a range of charities, which are related to the products we sell.
Have a look at our videos on what to do when your plants arrive and how to plant a bare root tree.
