Malus domestica Winesap

Winesap Apple Tree

A variety of apple tree highly appreciated for its crisp, juicy and slightly acidic fruits. The apples, medium in size, have a dark red to purple colour with a firm and fragrant flesh, ideal for fresh consumption, as well as for the preparation of juices, compotes and pies. This cultivar is resistant to diseases and produces a regular harvest. Self-sterile, it is recommended to plant it with another variety of apple tree that flowers at the same time to ensure cross-pollination. It begins to produce fruit about 4 to 6 years after planting. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, avoiding excess water. Pruning is done in late winter or early spring, before the vegetation resumes. Remove dead or weak branches to encourage healthy growth.
