Newtown Pippin Apple.
Can't wait for this to grow to maturity and bear fruit. The tree is doing good so far inspite of having been attacked by deer. I had to build a wire guard around it after.

Orange Pippin Apple
The Orange Pippin Apple arrived in May. We waited until the frost was gone to plant, first week of June. It has LOTS of new growth, and has grown about 6-8 inches, has not been affected by the heat wave. I am anxious to see how it weathers the winter and if it blooms next spring.

Great tree
This is a beautiful tree. I believe it was only 1 year old when I purchased it and it has now been planted for 2 years in New York City. It has not fruited yet but is growing nicely with very little maintenance.

Newtown Pippin
The first couple of years it grew rather slowly, but is now about six feet tall. No apples yet.

Needs a long season to mature, keeps very well
I have a Newtown Pippin that's about 15 years old now. The really important thing about this variety is that it matures very late. if you're much north of Long Island or you are above Zone 6A, the apples may not be fully ripe before winter hits. The apples will resist a pretty good frost though without getting soft. Also like a lot of heirlooms, it may only produce biennially. The apples are great for cooking and they keep for a long time, which is good because a 15 year old tree will make a lot of them.

Newton Apple
I have a piece of property that seems only to grow up trees, and there's a lot of wild apple trees on it. Therefore I thought I would try domestic apple tree, and they have taken off and grow X potentially these new map trees are only babies but yet they are putting on but i.e. I'll have to pick the fruit of their two young to grow full-size apples. But next year I feel I'll be eating apples from the new trees. My recommendation for people by any fruit bearing tree is to buy for one grade lower if you think you're in a five make your selection for four.
It was listed as a tree that Johnny Appleseed would have planted. We are celebrating him at The Gill House, a mansion which was built in 1904 and we are restoring
