Enterprise Apple (4-6′)

Fall-Winter. 

From the well-known Purdue-Rutgers-Illinois apple-breeding program, a highly recommended fresh-eating apple. Medium-large roundish red-orange fruit is crisp, firm, juicy with a rich spicy flavor. Stores for 6 months or more. Flavor improves in storage, with best eating about a month into winter.

Annual bearing, scab immune, resistant to powdery mildew, cider-apple rust and fireblight. Blooms late-season. Climate Zone 4.

TFG apples are on standard full-sized, Antonovka rootstock. Standard trees have deep, substantial—and therefore hardier— root systems. By selecting the varieties appropriate to your district, grafted on standard rootstock, you may well be planting a tree that will be picked by your grandchildren’s grandchildren. Standard trees will grow to be large, but you can manage the size with pruning. Although standard-sized apple trees may be planted as close as 10–15′ apart, they were typically planted 30′ apart in 19th-c. orchards.
