Quick Overview
The Northern Lights Apple, Malus 'Northern Lights', is a new apple variety that ripens in early mid-season (mid-September). It is a large red fruit, 3 inches in diameter, and 60 to 100 per cent of its skin is a glossy, attractive bright red. Its flavor is slightly tart, and fruity-flavored. In addition to bearing very good fruit, the tree is especially resistant to severely cold winter temperatures. It has a mild flavor, and great for eating and cooking. Plant about a month after the first killing frost in the fall or about a month before the last killing frost in the spring. Select a planting site that has good air, drainage, full sunlight and deep, well drained soil.
