Gold Rush Apple (4-6′)

Gold Rush is a standard sized yellow-green apple that is a reliable producer. It has a dropping window from November to December and is a great late apple, usually hanging around on the ground long into winter. It has immunity to scab and resistance to powdery mildew and fireblight. It does show some susceptibility to cedar apple rust. It has zone 5 to 8 hardiness. Some pollination partners are Enterprise, Liberty, and Golden Russet.

‘Antonovka’ rootstocks – Our apples and crabapples are grafted onto standard rootstock, which will result in 25’-35’ trees. Think towards those long-lived apple trees from days of yore, chances are they were on a ‘standard’ type rootstock. These trees, while big and not as uniform as the typical clonal orchard rootstocks, are going to be strongly rooted and resilient to stand the test of time across a range of conditions. With thoughtful pruning, these trees can still be managed if you so wish. The commonly recommended spacing for these rootstocks is around 20’ to 30’ apart.
