Pixi Apple 3-5 ft branched tree

Pixi (trademarked as Pixie Crunch) is a delightful small to medium sized apple. The color is red to deep purple with yellowish flesh. The flavor is sweet and rich with an excellent crunch. The trees are resistant to scab and quick to bear, but only moderately vigorous, making them a great tree for a garden or small yard.

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

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.
