Newtown Pippin Apple Tree

Heirloom variety grown in colonial America

Large, round to slightly flat, green to yellow fruits
Flavor becomes sweeter and richer in storage
Good for cooking and eating fresh

This American original produces large, crisp fruits that have a wonderfully complex, refreshingly tart flavor when picked from the tree--and a sweeter and richer flavor after a few months in storage. Newtown Pippin Apple Tree is an heirloom variety that was admired and grown by Presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. The green-to-yellow skinned fruits have a cream colored flesh that's firm and juicy. They're good for both eating fresh and cooking--and they have very good storage qualities. For the best apple production, the trees require 700 chilling hours below 45°F. Fruits ripen in October.

Why buy a Deluxe package - Deluxe fruit trees include 2 oz. of Fruit-Boost™ Pelletized Calcium to enhance fruit quality, 12 oz. bag of Fruit Tree Food Starter Formula, easy-to-use tree ties (see video below), a premium tree guard to protect the trunk from gnawing pests, mowers and weed trimmers.
