Paradise Alluring™ Apple Tree
Description
Paradise Alluring™ is the beginning of something new. This Stark Bro’s exclusive marks the first U.S. release from a groundbreaking partnership between Stark Bro’s and Lubera — a European breeder renowned for developing innovative apple varieties specifically for home gardeners. The result is a refined, reliable, modern apple: vibrant red, medium-to-large, sweet and juicy with a distinctive hint of cinnamon aroma, beautifully consistent year after year, and built with the backyard grower specifically in mind. Scab resistant, compact, and easy to grow in Zones 4–8 — this is what the next generation of home orchard apples looks like.
Sweet, Juicy, and Cinnamon-Aromatic
Paradise Alluring™'s flavor profile is both familiar and distinctive. The sweet, juicy flesh has a modern crisp bite that’s easy and satisfying, and the subtle cinnamon aroma sets it apart from the standard apple experience — pleasing to the nose before it even reaches the palate. It ripens in mid-to-late September, produces a concentrated crop that typically requires only one or two harvests to gather, and holds excellent quality well into long storage for extended seasonal enjoyment.
A New Collaboration — Stark Bro’s × Lubera
This apple represents the launch of an exclusive partnership between Stark Bro’s and Lubera, a European breeding program with a proven track record of developing fruit varieties specifically for the home garden rather than commercial production. Lubera’s breeding philosophy prioritizes ease of growing, consistent performance, beautiful fruit, and flavors that genuinely excite home growers. Combined with Stark Bro’s 200+ years of growing expertise, it’s a collaboration built to redefine what’s possible for the American backyard orchard.
Compact, Espalier-Friendly, and Scab Resistant
Paradise Alluring™ grows in a narrow, upright form — just 3–5 feet wide at maturity — making it ideal for smaller garden spaces, tight fence lines, and espalier training against walls and structures where a standard apple tree simply won’t fit. Its scab resistance means clean, healthy fruit with less intervention, and the easy-to-grow nature makes it a smart choice for beginning orchardists.
