Pixie Crunch Apple Tree

Sweeter than 'Honeycrisp'

(9 customer reviews)

This sweet beauty is absolutely unparalleled for fresh eating. One bite and we guarantee you will agree. This apple “explodes” with a breaking crispness, tantalizing your taste buds with mouthwatering flavor and juiciness. Delectable sweetness works wonders in no-sugar pie recipes and baked goods—cooks up tender every time. A favorite apple with children because of its flavor.We’ve seen kids choose this over candy and sweets! As if being tops in taste were not enough, Pixie also bears reliable annual crops starting in its third year for standard trees and often in its second for Li’l-BIGs, handling late frosts much better than other varieties.

Matures late August.

Too small a tree
Reviewed By: G.Y. (Dallas, Tx)
Ordered this bare root tree in May this year. So far it has new leaves, and seemed survived. But the tree was too small to begin with. The height was about 2 feet and trunk/branches were like pencils and the leaves were penny size. To me, this tree needs 3-4 more years to produce any thing. So 4 stars is mainly for its surviving Texas hot temp. so far.

Great tree
Reviewed By: Krista (Dewey, Az)
We ordered this tree last fall and a golden pixie this spring. Both came bareroot and I was doubtful. They are both putting out leaves and are growing well, even in our dry hot climate with poor soil.

I got my standard deluxe trees just a month ago, it's remarkable how fast they are growing.
