Triumph Apple 3-5 ft tree

A brand-new variety, released just this year from researchers at the University of Minnesota! With the consumer-favorite Honeycrisp and grower-favorite Liberty as its parents, Triumph bears attractive fruit with excellent scab resistance, great fresh eating qualities and long storage life. Ideal for backyards and organic orchards. Ripens in late September, about a week before Honeycrisp.

These trees are grafted onto standard or semi dwarfing M111 rootstock (M111 is roughly 70% standard size).

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.
