Dayton Apple 3-5 ft branched tree

Dayton is one of several apple varieties specifically bred for scab resistance, making it an excellent, easy backyard apple. Fruits ripen to red in August and have a sweet, juicy, mild flavor and firm texture.

Standard rootstock: These trees are grafted onto Antonovka standard rootstock, which produces vigorous and disease-resistant full-size trees. With a little TLC these trees can last generations.

B118: B118 or “Bud 118” is considered semidwarf or semistandard, growing to 85% the size of a standard rootstock tree. Similar to a standard, trees on B118 are vigorous, hardy and need no staking. Trees on B118 will begin bearing fruit slightly earlier than standard roostock trees and are reliably productive.

M7: M7 is a semidwarf rootstock, producing a tree that is 50-65% the size of a tree on standard rootstock. M7 trees are reliably productive, hardy and quick to bear. They may need staking early in life. They’re great where space is tight.

BULK PRICING: Any combination of 10 or more apples (potted and or bare-root) will receive 10% off.

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.
