Stark® Scarlet Crush™ Apple Tree
Description
2018 Direct Gardening Association Green Thumb Award winner
Tops in taste tests! Our new Honeycrisp/Cripps Pink cross is sweet with citrusy notes, plus all that famous Honeycrisp snap and juiciness. Rosy-red fruit is uniform, conical and very attractive. A fine apple for cooking and of course fresh-eating. Tree is more vigorous than Honeycrisp with an upright, spreading growth habit. Keeps up to 6 months in proper storage. Originates from Winchester, Illinois in 2000. Ripens in late September. Pollinator required: Choose another apple variety like Starkspur® Red Rome Beauty, Stark® Jon-A-Red® Jonathan or any Golden Delicious. May be covered by USPP #30,925 or other patents.
