September Ruby is a very cold hardy tree developed for the Prairie Fruit Breeding Cooperative. It is a vigorous grower that is resistant to fire blight and is popular among orchards for its annual production. Its apples are very good for eating and cooking. This tree blooms in mid May for an attractive ornamental.

Note: We do not ship grafted apples to BC due to regulatory restrictions from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Parkland Apple is an extremely hardy, medium sized apple tree The apples have excellent reviews, they are juicy, crisp, and slightly tart. Apples will be ready to harvest in July-August and will produce apples which are yellow and green with a red blush overlay.

Parkland Apple also makes for a nice accent tree with slightly scented, white flowers blooming in spring that will make a striking feature to any landscape. Ensure you have an additional apple or crabapple tree within 150 m (500’) to ensure cross pollination and fruit production occur.
