This long-time favorite apple tree is treasured for its cold-hardiness, flavor and fantastic yields. McIntosh Apple Tree produces red-skinned fruit with a crisp, white flesh that has a wonderfully tart, spicy flavor. The fruits cook up juicy and tender, making it a favorite for baking and applesauce. The apples also are great for making cider that has a zesty kick. McIntosh Apple Tree is a cold-hardy native of Canada and ideal for northern growers. Its fruits ripen in mid-September. Recommended pollinators are Gala, Goldrush, Liberty, Pixie Crunch, and Sundance. Zones 4-6. Now available in Reachables size! A Reachables tree produces full-sized fruits on a smaller tree. It's easier to fit into your garden or orchard, even a container will do fine! Thanks to state-of-the-art rootstock technology, these trees remain manageable throughout their life cycle, so a single person can prune, spray, net and harvest the tree, all while standing on the ground. No ladders required! Note: Because the full-sized fruits grow on smaller sized trees, Reachables require a tree support. NOTE: We are unable to ship our trees to PO Boxes at this time.
