Yellow Newton Pippin Apple Tree

Description

Semi-dwarf on M-111 rootstock.

Zones: 5-9

Chill hours: 700

Bloom Time: Late (Based on typical Central Valley California weather)

Harvest: October 5 – November 5

Looks: Yellow-green skin.

Personality: Firm, crisp, slightly tart, superb flavor.

Facts of note: Dave Wilson’s Taste Test Top Scorer. Favorite in colder regions. Late harvest, its a good keeper and famous for cooking, great fresh or dried. For peak flavor and acid/sugar balance, wait to harvest until until cheeks are yellowish-green. The flavor improves over storage and the apple will taste better 1 to 2 months later versus straight off the tree. One of the oldest American apple varieties being introduced to England from America in the 1750’s.

Pollination: Self-pollinated.
