Prairie Spy Apple Tree
Description
A time-tested favorite. First offered in the early 1940s, this tree offers red-over-green apples that ripen in late October. Large, firm apples have a tangy taste that’s great for fresh eating and baking. Aging and chilling makes the flavor better. Pollinator required: Choose another apple variety.
