Wolf River Apple Tree

OUR STORY

Wolf River is an American cultivar of domesticated apple, which originates from the shores of the Wolf River of Wisconsin, known since 1875. The tree is exceptionally frost hardy and generally disease resistant. The fruit usually ripens mid-September to early October. It is large, commonly weighing over a pound and fairly sweet with a distinctive red and yellow appearance. It has many culinary uses, as it keeps its shape well when cooked. Wolf River has been described as a world-class apple butter apple, which has long been praised for the rich, fluffy apple butter it provides after hours of slow cooking. Grows in USDA zones 4-8. Blooms midseason and requires another variety blooming at the same time for pollination. Hardy variety that is resistant to scab, mildew, fire blight and cedar apple rust. Wolf River's pollen is sterile. It needs a self fertile apple to pollinate it. Consider one of the following apple trees in our offerings for pollination: Braeburn or McIntosh.
