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.
