Apple Tree - Spitzenburg
  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.

  Apple Tree - Liberty - Sale Price: $78.50 The Liberty Apple, Malus 'Liberty', is a deep dark red over 90 percent of the surface. The red is striped rather than blushed. The shape of the fruit is oblate to oblate conic, and the size averages 2 3/4 to 3 inches, although it may be smaller on heavily cropping trees. There are numerous light colored small sunken dots on the surface of the fruit. The flesh is yellowish in color, and the apple is juicy, crisp, and fine.  It is a new disease resistant apple, and the name 'Liberty' denotes the freedom from disease.
