Starkspur® UltraMac™ Apple Tree
Description
One of America’s most cherished apples — made better! Our improved McIntosh has more fruiting spurs than regular trees, so it produces more fruit in the same space. That way, you can enjoy more tart, crisp apples with that distinctive McIntosh flavor and aroma. Good for eating fresh or baking. Originates from Oyama, British Columbia in 1968. Cold-hardy. Ripens in September. Pollinator required: Choose another apple variety. See Recommended Pollinators below.
