Malus ‘Combination’

Pot size #7

Combination apples have multiple varieties of apple grafted onto a single tree. This means that one tree will produce 4 different kinds of apples (each main branch produces a different kind of apple) and that it will pollinate itself! In previous years, this combination type has included the following varieties:

Gloria: Medium-sized, red speckled fruit with a sweet and slightly spicy strawberry flavor. Great for fresh eating and cooking.

Goodland: Large, light green apple with a red blush. Crisp, late summer apple for eating fresh, cooking and can be stored for up to 4 months.

Harcourt:  The apples are good eating fresh and for baking into desserts; crisp, juicy white flesh, and a pleasant flavor. Ripen in late August, and with a short storage life.

Odyssey: The fruit is sweet and has a crisp texture, which lends itself for baking, preserving, or eating fresh right off of the tree. Large fruit.

Please note: varieties included vary year to year and may be different than what is listed above.

Requires a moist, well-drained soil. Great for the backyard with a small amount of space because you do not require a second apple tree for cross-pollination.
