Crimson Crisp Apple 3-5 ft branched tree

Crimson Crisp is a newer, disease-resistant variety bearing firm crisp, juicy apples in late September into October with a complex sweet-sharp flavor. Fruit ripens to deep crimson. Trees tend to be vigorous and fruit is highly scab resistant making it a great late season variety for homeowners. Keeps well.

M111 or EMLA111 is considered semidwarf or semistandard, growing to 70-80% the size of a standard rootstock tree. Similar to a standard, trees on M111 are vigorous, adaptable and need no staking. Trees on M111 will begin bearing fruit slightly earlier than standard rootstock trees.

Apples thrive in Vermont. You need to have at least two different varieties for pollination; however, apples are common enough in Vermont that you can often get away with planting one if a neighbor has a few trees. Wild trees or crab apples growing nearby can also serve as pollinators. More pollen often means more and larger fruit. Plant in a well-drained spot with good sun. We grow and sell varieties that perform well in our climate and growing conditions. Varieties listed as “heirloom” originated before 1900.

If you are planting a few trees, consider selecting varieties with different uses or ripening times. If you are planning to make hard cider, add a cider variety or two to blend with more typical dessert fruit.
