Ginger Gold® Apple Tree
Description
Enjoy apples in summer! This early picker allows you to enjoy apples sooner than most varieties. Grow juicy and delicious apples that feature a yellow-green skin with a golden glow. A crisp crunch and mildly tart flavor – plus natural resistance to browning – makes the fruit perfect for fresh eating. Adds beauty to your landscape in spring, when it produces lovely white-pink blooms. Originates from Virginia in the 1960s. Heat-tolerant! Ripens mid- to late-August. Pollinator required: Choose another apple variety. See recommended pollinators below. Ginger Gold® is a registered trade name of Adams County Nursery, Inc.
