Moses Wood Apple Tree

OUR STORY

For nearly two centuries, orchardists have kept this prized heritage variety alive for its outstanding performance in cold northern climates.Expect a sensory delight! The Moses Wood apple features an attractive, smooth, light-yellow skin overlaid with a soft pink blush and distinct dark red stripes. Beneath its beautiful exterior lies tender, snow-white flesh that is remarkably juicy, offering a crisp texture and a perfectly balanced, tangy-sweet (subacid) flavor. 🥧 Best Uses A true dual-purpose summer apple!
