The Carlos Queen is a unique Albertan-bred apple, boasting a vibrant green hue and subtle red blush averaging 8 cm (3") in diameter size. The apples have a delicate sweetness with crunchy creamy flesh, making them a perfect companion for pies, juice and enjoying fresh! Ripe for picking around mid-late September, these apples are good keepers and store up to 3 months in cold storage, and their natural semi-dwarf size trees make them easy to grow and manage. Carlos Queen was named after the former post office in Clearwater County and released in 1972 by Robert Erskine. Hardiness Zone: 3 Height at Maturity: 4.5 meters (15 feet) Spread: 3.7 meters (12 feet) Soil Preference: Well drained Light: Full sun Pollination: Self-sterile (Requires a different apple cultivar nearby for best pollination. Any of our apple trees will work!) Latin Name: Malus 'Carlos Queen'
