Tree has a slightly drooping, open shape with moderate vigor. Disease-resistant to scab and fire blight. Fruit stores up to 2 months on average. Ideal for northern gardens with cool climates. University of Minnesota variety, introduced in 2006. Cold-hardy. Ripens in mid-September. Pollinator required: Choose another early or mid-blooming apple variety. See recommended pollinators below.
