Liberty Apple Tree
Liberty Apple Tree
The First True Low-Spray Apple

  (3 customer reviews)

Fabulous for fresh eating, juice and sauce, this crunchy, mildly tart Liberty Apple is much like an easy-to-grow version of McIntosh. Resists scab, fire blight and cedar apple rust-the name actually refers to the breeder's quest to free the grower from endless spraying! Ripens early Oct.

Now you can grow delicious, full-size apples no matter how small your garden! Imagine picking 1/2 bushel or more apples from each of your Li’l-BIG trees just a few years after planting them in the ground! If you have limited space or simply want a little tree with big benefits,
Li'l-BIG is for you. Reaching 6 ft. tall at the most and producing half a bushel of fruit, Li'l-BIG are a snap to spray, prune and harvest compared to standard size trees.

Zones: 5-8.

Excellent disease resistance
Reviewed By: Todd (Raymond, NE)
Cedar apple rust is a big concern in my area, as there are many cedar trees around here. I have ten different varieties of apple trees and Liberty is one of three that I have that shows excellent resistance to cedar apple rust. The flavor is really good, also.

Easy to grow and teast great too
Reviewed By: Gonzo (CDA, ID)
Great all around apple it has many good growing habits that many don't. It stores well, its a strong grower and it teast great off the tree. ITs better then 80% of the apple types out there. I wish all my apple tree could grow this strong.
