Red-fleshed apples have been around for decades. They were always novel and noteworthy, but they just didn't taste very good. All that changed with Lucy™ Rose. A cross between Honeycrisp and Airlie Red Flesh Apples, the Lucy™ Series features brilliantly colored, pinkish-red flesh—and finally the flavor and texture that previous varieties were missing. Plus, their preceding spring blossoms are also uniquely red! These next generation, naturally red-fleshed apples were a hit when first introduced in grocery stores in 2022. Now, home gardeners can grow them, too. Red-skinned Lucy Rose has crisp, berry-sweet, rosy flesh that's perfect for snacking and salads. When juiced, it creates a vibrant pink beverage. We recommend planting with one of the following varieties as a pollinator: Sweet Sixteen, Goldrush, Golden Delicious and Liberty But Lucy Rose is not the only red-fleshed option. Be sure to check out her colorful cousin, Lucy™ Glo. Also red on the inside, this companion apple has a wonderful sweet-tart flavor and blushing gold skin that can double as a pollinator. 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.
