Liberty Apple (4-6′)

Liberty is an easy-to-grow apple, vigorous to produce a larger red-yellow apple. Being a softer apple upon storage, it’ll be plenty easy for livestock to break down once dropped. It shows resistance to fireblight and powdery mildew, with even better resistance towards cedar apple rust and scab. It has zone 4 to 8 hardiness and drops in a window from September to October. Some pollination partners are Wolf River and Virginia Crab. 

‘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.
