An American original! George Washington's and Thomas Jefferson's favorite cider apple. Also called Virginia Crab, it is a small, flattened, yellow apple with a rose-to-red blush and white specks.
It has a long bloom period (blooms during categories 1-4) and is an excellent pollinizer. Was previously used as a rootstock due to its exceptional hardiness. Can lapse into biennial bearing if not thinned aggressively as a young tree. Ripens in late September. Well-suited for Southern growers who cider early, and also folks with short growing seasons.
Plant in full sun in soil that drains well. Please fertilize with a slow release type fertilizer for best result as sold in our shop!
