Apple Trees McIntosh

#7 gallon pot. 

McIntosh Apple Tree - Trees for cross pollination: Cortland, Macoun, & Honeycrisp. Height: 12-15 ft, Width: 12-15 ft. Interest: Fruit in late September. McIntosh apples are one of America’s most iconic apple varieties, celebrated for their bright red skin and crisp, juicy flesh with a tangy-sweet flavor. Originating in Ontario, Canada, in the early 1800s, this classic apple is perfect for fresh eating, applesauce, and cider. Its tender, aromatic texture makes it ideal for families and home growers looking for a versatile apple that’s as delicious straight from the tree as it is in recipes.

Maintenance Tip:
Prune annually in late winter while dormant to shape the tree, remove dead or crossing branches, and encourage better fruit production. Thin developing fruit in early summer to improve size and prevent branch stress. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring, maintain consistent watering during dry periods, and monitor for pests and disease throughout the growing season.
