McIntosh Apple Tree

McIntosh apple trees are a heritage favorite, producing medium-sized fruit with bright red skin and a slight green blush. The apples are crisp and juicy with a signature sweet-tart flavor, making them perfect for fresh eating, baking, and cider-making. This early to mid-season variety thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, requiring moderate chill hours.
