USDA Certified Organic The Granniwinkle apple is a rare American cider apple that was first cultivated in New Jersey in the early 1800s. It is known for its sharp acid and high sugar content and low tannin levels, which make it ideal for cider making. Traditionally grown with our Harrison and Campfield cider apple trees. The Granniwinkle apple is typically medium to large in size, with a green-yellow skin that is flushed with red stripes. The flesh is firm and juicy, with a tart flavor that is balanced by its high sugar content. When used for cider making, the juice from Granniwinkle apples produces a rich, full-bodied cider with complex flavors of melon, currant, and honey.

Shipping information Shipping Note: Our fruit trees and berries are delivered to you bareroot during their winter dormancy from January through May depending on USDA zone. Trees are shipped with your invoice and helpful planting directions. There is no minimum quantity required but shipping rate for an individual tree is expensive since UPS/Fed Ex charge a dimensional weight and an additional handling fee to ship a tree. On that note, we ship orders of one to three trees in a 48-inch box. These trees are professionally pruned prior to shipping so they are ready to plant upon arrival. You'll find it's cost effective to consider a handful of trees,vines or our helpful Tree Starter Kits. [/TABS]
