Rome Law Apple Tree

OUR STORY

📜 A Deep-Rooted History The story begins in 1816 in Rome Township, Ohio, where a forgotten seedling produced the legendary "Rome Beauty" apple. Decades later, a natural branch mutation (or "sport") was discovered on the Law orchard, yielding an even deeper, more solid-red fruit. This exceptional variety was perfected as the Law Rome, combining centuries of heirloom reliability with enhanced color and dwarfing, spur-type growth. 🍏 Flavor Profile & Texture • Taste: Mildly sweet with a pleasant, subtle tartness. • Texture: Exceptionally firm, crisp, and dense. • The Magic: While it is a clean, refreshing eating apple straight from the tree, its flavor deepens, sweetens, and intensifies beautifully when exposed to heat. 👩‍🍳 The King of the Kitchen (Uses) The Law Rome is affectionately known as the "baker's buddy" for a reason. Unlike other apples that collapse into mush, the Law Rome retains its round shape perfectly when baked whole. It is the absolute premier choice for: • Gourmet baked apples • Structurally perfect pies and tarts • Rich, chunky applesauce • Delectable cider blends 🗺️ Growing Specifications • USDA Hardiness Zones: Thrives beautifully in Zones 5 through 8. It is exceptionally cold-hardy and resilient. • Bloom Time: Late Season (Group 4/5). Because it blooms late in the spring, it safely evades damaging late-winter frosts that ruin earlier crops. • Harvest: Mid-to-late October. The fruit hangs tightly to the tree, allowing for a flexible, easy harvest window. 🐝 Perfect Pollination Partners While the Law Rome is exceptionally free-blooming, it requires a cross-pollination partner that blooms around the same late window to guarantee a heavy crop. Excellent partners include: • Fuji • Braeburn • Granny Smith • Golden Delicious Trees are bench grafted 1/4-3/16 inch diameter and 1 1/2 to 2 feet tall when shipped.
