Does anyone have a patio apple tree?

I just made a impulse purchase of this tree in the sale. Does anyone have similar? Does it produce good apples?

I have a pear tree. When I brought it home I realised there wasn’t enough room for it in the beds so I have kept it in a pot on my patio. It is fine and has produced a good crop of gorgeous pears this year. There was something on Gardeners Question Time recently about keeping fruit trees in pots. It’s fine.

Having said that, I don’t know anything about ‘patio varieties’ of fruit trees. I am guessing they have been pre stunted in some way so perhaps that limits fruiting? Google the variety and see.

Yes.

i have a similar one in a pot.

four apples this year (great big ones).

I bought a couple from gardening express two years ago. Both have fruit on them this year.

I have that exact tree. It says nice ans small, which is good. Last year there were 5 apples, which were tiny as they are supposed to be. This year it had no fruit at all though.

Thank you all for the responses. I have already purchased it now as it was in the sale.

Oh dear, I'm hoping this one yields slighlty more crop.
