Pumpkin Russet Apple Tree

OUR STORY

The Pumpkin Russet apple is a historic heirloom variety from New England known for its exceptionally large, sweet fruit.• Very large, round-conic apples with a yellowish-green skin covered in a distinctive bronze russeting. • Fruit Type: Heirloom Apple (Malus domestica) • Origin: Connecticut, USA (early 1800s) • Harvest Season: Late Autumn (September–October) • Hardiness: USDA Zones 5–8• Flavor Profile: Exceedingly sweet and low in acid. The flesh is crisp, juicy, and dynamic, offering a mild, pear-like aromatic flavor. • 🥧 Best Uses: Perfect for baking, pies, making apple butter, and pressing into sweet cider. Historically, its large size made it popular for baking whole. • 🌳 The Tree: A vigorous, upright grower that is highly productive, though it tends to bear a heavier crop every other year (biennial bearing). The Pumpkin Russet apple tree is a late-season bloomer and is self-sterile (self-unfruitful). To successfully produce fruit, it requires cross-pollination from a compatible companion tree. Consider the following as pollination partners: Gold Rush, Northern Spy, Golden Delicious, White Pearmain, Granny Smith. Trees are bench grafted 1/4-3/16 inch diameter and 1 1/2 to 2 feet tall when shipped.
