Sizing Information
You've probably heard the rave reviews about Summerred Apple Tree (Pyrus communis 'Summer Crisp'). This reliable producer is a wonderful variety for climates with cool summers. Backyard orchards in the Pacific Northwest should include this hot variety!
Hybridized in British Columbia from Mcintosh and Golden Delicious parents, Summerred produces dark red, oval fruits. The flavor is reminiscent of Golden Delicious, but a bit more robust and full-flavored.
These early ripening apples are great for fresh eating and baking. The fruit also stores well!
Summerred is a hardy selection that shows some resistance to apple scab in many areas. You'll need to plant a partner tree for pollination.
People have been snapping up our Summerred Apple trees like hotcakes. Order this tremendous Apple variety for your home garden today!
Developed in the Pacific Northwest, Summerred is a hardy and productive hybrid. The red fruits have a fine eating quality. They are excellent for fresh eating, but are firm enough to hold up to baking.
The juicy fruit is well-balanced and features hints of strawberry. Use these special apples as part of a dessert tray with an assortment of artisan cheeses.
Summerred is also an attractive tree in its own right. With snowy white spring blooms and highly ornamental red fruit, you'll be tempted to use it as a focal point in an Edible Landscape.
Fruit trees can be allowed to grow to their full size and spread. Or, keep them as small as you would like with summer pruning for size control.
Backyard orchardists have successfully pruned Summerred to as small as 6 feet tall and wide. That yearly task makes harvest much easier!
Ensure pollination by planting several Apple trees in a group. You'll be delighted with their good looks, and great-tasting fruit.
Give Apple trees full sun, where they will get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. For best results, we also recommend a somewhat protected spot that has plenty of air circulation.
Soils that drain quickly after a rain event are a must. If needed, create a mounded heap of soil 18 inches high and 3 feet wide. Plant directly in that mound.
Water carefully to establish new plants during their first season. Apply supplemental water during summer, when the fruit is developing.
Prune to correct shape and establish the structure in late winter. Prune while your tree is dormant, before new growth appears.
You'll love the snappy, sweet crunch of these popular dessert apples. Order Summerred Apple from the expert growers at Nature Hills today!
