State Fair Apple Tree
Description
Experience bountiful blooms and early-harvest apples perfect for Northern climates with the State Fair Apple tree—a standout performer. Originating from the University of Minnesota in 1978, this robust apple tree is celebrated for its ability to thrive in cold environments and deliver large yields of apples by mid-summer. Garden enthusiasts particularly admire the striking pink blossoms it displays each spring.
The State Fair variety features medium-sized apples adorned with red stripes, making them not only delightful to look at but also versatile in use. Their creamy, juicy texture and subtly tart, aromatic taste make them excellent for culinary uses, especially baking. Impressively, despite being a summer-bearing variety, these apples have a good storage life.
Extremely resilient, the State Fair apple tree withstands temperatures down to -40C. With consistent care, it promises to be a dependable provider of fresh, tasty apples for your homestead or garden.
