Pristine Apple Tree

Early Apple with Delectable Flavor

Delicious, sweet-tart flavor
Crisp texture
Very early ripening
Disease resistant
High yielding
Available in Reachables^® size

Start apple season off with a delicious, sweet-tart apple with gorgeous yellow skin softly blushed with red. Pristine Apple's medium-to-large fruits are juicy with an excellent crisp texture. This very early ripening apple matures in early July, weeks before other apple trees. The fruits are excellent for baking into desserts, making into applesauce and fresh eating. The trees exhibit resistance to scab, powdery mildew, fire blight and cedar-apple rust—and they produce high yields. Recommended pollinators include Goldrush, McIntosh, Gala, Enterprise, Pixie Crunch and most crabapple trees. Zones 5-8. PP9881.

Why buy a Deluxe package - Deluxe fruit trees include 2 oz. of Fruit-Boost™ Pelletized Calcium to enhance fruit quality, 12 oz. bag of Fruit Tree Food Starter Formula, easy-to-use tree ties (see video below), a premium tree guard to protect the trunk from gnawing pests, mowers and weed trimmers.
