Ecos Red Apple Seeds-Scions

Dessert Quality Low Spray Apple-Ripens in October

This seedling apple was found  in one of our planting beds of Malus coronaria or sweet crab from a Pennsylvania seed source. The leaves were a bright green color free of disease.  When it began fruiting it was one of the few eating apples at our farm that has produced clean fruit without spray. The foliage is totally resistant to insect damage and completely immune to black spot, anthracnose and mildew. The fruit ripens late and is a light green underneath with a red blush throughout most of the apple. The flesh is very dense and crispy with a tart flavor. It carries with it much of the wild apple taste and dense fruit set free of most insect problems.  A few neem sprays would prevent insect and disease issues. Scion wood is sent separate with the seeds. Seeds of this selection immediately and will vary from 

To germinate the seed: Seed is easy to germinate. Add a lightly moist media like Canadian peat moss to the seeds and store at 33-38 F refrigerated for 90-120 days. Seeds can sprout while under cold dormancy so they can be plucked out and planted in small pots. If planted outside, lightly cover the seeds after dormancy with 1/4 inch of sandy soil. Seeds germinate within 1-4 weeks after planting.
