Chehalis Apple Tree
Description
An old-time heirloom favorite. Flavor, flavor, flavor! Great big, gorgeous yellow apples look and taste like Golden Delicious, but are crisper and sweeter. Sometimes a blush of pale pink will appear on the exposed side. A fine apple, good for both fresh eating and baking. Abundant crops are blissfully resistant to scab and mildew. Ripens in September. Discovered near Oakville, WA, in 1937. Best of all, it’s one of the few self-pollinating apple trees.
