- Even sweeter than Honey Crisp
- Cooks well for impressive baking
- Part of the Reachables® line—harvest without the ladder
Even sweeter than the renowned Honey Crisp anyone can find in stores, this is the perfect apple for eating fresh. Or if you're working on your perfect fall dessert, give this a try. It cooks perfectly tender, and you can cut back on sugar. This is one of the Reachables® varieties, which stays compact enough to easily manage. The pruning, spraying and picking fruit can all be done while standing on the ground. Gone are the days you'll need room for a full orchard to enjoy fresh, sun-ripened fruit. It'll make a nice accent piece in your garden, and there's a sort of fairytale beauty with apples in a garden. This apple tree is not self-pollinating. However, if you don't have room for another apple tree, a good pollinator is the crab apple tree. Crab apple trees are very common, so the chances of having a pollinator nearby are high.

- pruningPrune in late winter/early spring, while trees are still dormant. There are normally two goals when pruning an apple tree: 1. Initially, on young trees, to encourage a strong, solid framework. 2. On mature trees to maintain shape, maximize sun exposure and encourage fruit production. You will also want to remove any suckers coming from the rootstock. Unwanted shoots and suckers can be removed at any time. Also remove any crossed, crowded or inward-growing limbs in late winter or very early spring. Fruit thinning is required.
