Paradise Sparkling™ Apple Tree

About the Paradise Sparkling™ Apple Tree

The Paradise Sparkling™ Apple is unlike anything you’ve tasted before—each bite bursts with crisp, juicy flavor and a refreshing, effervescent crunch. Its large, firm cells create a light, sparkling sensation, making this sweet-tart apple truly one of a kind.

Bred in Europe by the innovative team at Lubera, this standout variety isn’t just remarkable for its flavor—it’s also easy to grow and highly disease-resistant. Paradise Sparkling™ shows excellent resistance to apple scab and low susceptibility to powdery mildew, making it a reliable choice for home orchards.

The apples are medium to large, with a red-striped blush over a golden base. They ripen gradually over a few weeks, allowing for an extended harvest season. While their shape and coloring can be a bit irregular, the flavor and crisp texture make every fruit worth the pick.

The tree itself is vigorous and productive, and thanks to the apple’s firm flesh and balanced sugars, it stores exceptionally well—keeping into January with proper storage.

How to Grow the Paradise Sparkling ™ Apple Tree

Plant your Paradise Sparkling™ apple tree in a sunny spot with well-draining soil. It adapts well to different soil types and grows with a medium, somewhat sparse habit. Like most apples, it benefits from regular pruning and watering through the growing season. This variety is well-suited to home orchards and espalier training. Choose a compatible pollinator with a similar bloom time to ensure a fruitful harvest—and enjoy a steady supply of crisp, juicy apples that live up to their sparkling name.
