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.

While this may sound a bit sneaky, the sad truth is some nurseries try to make their trees seem taller by including the roots in the height.  Even worse, others will charge you for a large tree but then hack them down to save money on shipping. We sell our trees with the height measured from the base up.  When you buy a tree from Nature Hills Nursery, it will be the height you paid for after you plant it.  We take pride in delivering the highest quality plants with healthy roots and full, well-established stems and foliage.  You can buy in confidence with our one year plant guarantee.  Our trees are always in high demand.  Order now before they sell out
