Originally a cross between McIntosh and Red Delicious this seedling variety is crisp, sweet, and juicy. Empire apples notably bruise and oxidize slower than most apples. The tree is hardy down to Zone 4 and has an approximate ripening week of the last week in September.
B.118 Rootstock
Very Hardy, Semi-Standard Rootstock with red leaves and wood. Will grow to 80-90% of a standard tree or roughly 20ft. We use this rootstock because it produces trees that will be actual trees and importantly should grow taller than the deer can reach.
All Apples are Bare Root and will be shipped or ready for pickup in April 2026.
