OUR STORY

Trees are grafted onto MM111 or Bud 9 rootstock with scions that are descended from the Algeo tree (last known surviving tree planted by Johnny Appleseed) in Savannah, Ohio. The tree is self fertile. Does not need another variety for pollination. Trees are bench grafted 1/4-3/16 inch diameter and 1 1/2 to 2 feet tall when shipped. Please specify which rootstock you would prefer. MM111- grows to be 20 feet tall. Well anchored roots. Adapts to many different soil types. Bud 9- grows to be 8 feet tall. Great for small spaces. It produced large fruit in a short timeframe when compared to other rootstock .It is bred to survive very cold winters. Great for far north climates. The tree produces firm, green apples with an occasional pink blush. They average 2.5-3.5 inches in diameter and have a very sweet taste with medium acidity. They are also an excellent choice for cooking and cider-making. The tree can successfully be grown in USDA Zones 4-7, and will reliably produce fruit in any climate which receives 800 chill hours during the winter. Independently authenticated by the Johnny Appleseed museum at Urbana University and the Ohio Historical Society.
