APPLE PACKAGE - (1) HONEY CRISP (1) RUBY RUSH
The Honeycrisp apple tree is a popular cultivar known for its hardiness and impressive fruit. It is a medium to large tree that grows to about 15-20 feet tall with a spreading canopy. The tree produces high-quality fruit that is crisp, juicy, and sweet-tart in flavor, with a honey-like sweetness and a hint of tartness. The apples are medium to large in size, round to slightly oval, with a distinctive red and yellow skin that often has a mottled appearance. The flesh is firm, crisp, and aromatic, making it a favorite for fresh eating, baking, and cider production. Honeycrisp apple trees are also valued for their relatively easy care, adaptability to different climates, and resistance to certain pests and diseases.
The Ruby Rush apple tree is a relatively newer variety known for its vibrant red fruit and excellent disease resistance. It is a small to medium-sized tree that typically grows to about 12-15 feet tall with a compact, upright shape, making it a good choice for smaller gardens or orchards. The fruit is medium to large, with a deep red, almost purple skin and a smooth, glossy appearance. The apples have a firm, crisp texture and a sweet-tart flavor with a hint of spice. Ruby Rush apples are known for their excellent balance of sweetness and acidity, making them great for both fresh eating and baking. The tree itself is hardy and adaptable, thriving in a variety of climates and often producing fruit early in the season.
