McIntosh Apple - Fedco Trees

Fall. Thought to be a seedling of Fameuse or perhaps St. Lawrence. Dundela, Ontario, 1811. First discovered by John McIntosh on his farm near the St. Lawrence River. Originally called Grannys Apple, then McIntosh Red, sometimes Gem, and finally McIntosh or simply Mac.Beginning in about 1930, the most important apple in the Northeast until Honeycrisp appeared. Although not planted in many other locations, it grows to perfection in our cool climate. There are many strains of McIntosh, some selected for traits other than flavor, and the variety has gotten a bad reputation. Despite the criticism, this is a delicious aromatic apple. The strain we offer has green ground color overlaid with red stripes and blush. Excellent for sauce but turns to soup in a pie.Annual cropper. Large beautifully rounded spreading strong tree is easy to manage. Beware, however: its extremely susceptible to scab. It also doesnt keep well in ordinary storage. Blooms midseason. Z4. Maine Grown. (Standard: 36' bare-root trees; semi-dwarf: 25' bare-root trees; dwarf: 25' bare-root trees)
