Malus domestica Summerred This dessert apple tree produces apples in midsummer; Malus Summerred is a fast-growing, deciduous small tree, giving a high annual yield of large to medium-sized fruit with a red skin and soft, white, juicy flesh.  The leaves are green, and the blossom is pinkish-white. This apple tree must be thinned, or you will get biennial bearing. This tree needs a Group 1, 2 or 3 pollination partner.  It stores for a few weeks, like most early apples. It’s a hardy apple tree, but not for the coldest areas.  Site: ShelteredSoil: Any moist but well drained, or well-drained acid to neutral soilPosition: Full sunPick: From JulyKeep: For a few weeksHardiness: Fully hardyPollination: Needs a pollination partner, Group 1, 2 or 3Uses: Eating fresh (dessert apple)  Learn more about fruit tree rootstocks Please note, during the bareroot season, our apples are pre pruned before being dispatched by mail order.
