Aunt Rachel Semi Dwarf Apple Malus Pumila Bare Root

This apple variety originated in Chatham County, NC.  The tree is disease resistant, a fast grower, and its limb structure is such that pruning is made much easier.  The tree begins to fruit early, producing excellent apples of good size. The apples are red with darker stripes. The flesh is white, firm, mildly tart, and juicy. It is good for eating and cooking. It ripens over a period of several weeks in late July and early August.

Rootstock: MM.111

Flowering group: 1*

*Flowering group indicates bloom period for cross-pollination. All the apple trees we carry will need cross pollination from another (different) apple tree. For best pollination, choose 2 or more trees that have the same Flowering group or an adjacent group. For example: Flowering group 3 tree can be pollinated by groups 2, 3 and 4
