William‘s Pride Semi Dwarf Apple Malus Domestica Bare Root

William’s Pride apple is complex and sweet with notes of pear. This is a delicious and easy-to-grow early-season apple, and it also has an extended bloom (early through to late-mid), making it a great pollenator. The long bloom time may also help provide fruit despite frosts.   Fruit ripens very early (early July), red-purple apple with a fragrant floral sweetness. It comes from the Purdue-Rutgers-Illinois (PRI) breeding program and is resistant to fireblight, powdery mildew, cedar-apple rust, and field immune to scab.  Everyone should have a Williams Pride tree in their yard or farm.
