Malus domestica 'Ellison's Orange' Still a favorite of English organic growers because of its outstanding flavor, heavy cropping and resistance to scab. The sweet/tart, anise-like, crisp, juicy and aromatic flavor make it a great choice for the organic orchard. Bred as a Cox's Orange Pippin X Calville Blanc in Lincolnshire, England about 1904. It has a soft orange background with unusual red stripes. Somewhat prone to biennial bearing; thin early heavy crops completely to avoid the subsequent exhaustion this tree can experience. A little extra care goes a long way! Ripens early-midseason. Good resistance to mildew and scab. Cold Hardy to USDA Zone: 4 Mature Height: 11' (Dwarf) Sun: Full Sun Ripening Time: September Pollination: Needs a Pollinizer Dwarf Rootstock: M26 Read our Apple Growing Guide Show more
