Malus domestica Spartan

Spartan Apple Tree

An apple tree highly prized for its medium-sized fruit with smooth, dark purple-red skin and crisp, juicy, and sweet white flesh. The apples are excellent for fresh eating, but are also suitable for making juice or compote. This cultivar is known for its reliable yield and good disease resistance. Self-sterile, it is recommended to plant it near another compatible variety that flowers at the same time (such as ‘McIntosh’ or ‘Empire’) to ensure effective cross-pollination. It generally begins producing fruit about 4 to 6 years after planting.

Care:
Water regularly, especially during drought conditions, and apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to support growth and fruiting.

Pruning:
Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or misaligned branches, aerate the center of the tree, and encourage abundant, high-quality fruit production.
