Apple Tree - Spitzenburg
Firm, crisp, fine grained, with a rich, aromatic, renowned flavor. The Spitzenburg Apple (Esopus) was one of the favorites of Thomas Jefferson. It is thought of as a dessert apple for connoisseurs. Its size is medium to large, with round-conical, orangish fruit with tough skin. The flesh is tinged yellow, firm, aromatic, and complex in flavor; a perfect balance between sharp and sweet. Spitzenburg ripens in October and hangs on until November. This apple improves with storage and is best at Christmas time. The tree has a slender growth habit with long willowy limbs. A pollinator is required by mid-season blooming apples (not pollinated by Gravenstein), and it is hardy in Zones 4-8. Uses: as fresh eating or as a dessert, cooking (puree, applesauce, apple butter), and baking.

We sell our trees with the height measured from the ground up.  You can be assured when you buy a 4 to 5 foot fruit tree from Nature Hills Nursery, it will be 4 to 5 feet after you plant it.  We take pride in delivering the highest quality plants with healthy roots and full, well-established stems and foliage.  We offer the largest selection on the internet and you can buy in confidence with our one year plant guarantee. Our fruit trees are always in high demand.  Quantities are limited and many will sell out soon.  Order now to avoid disappointment.
