Antonovka Apple
Neon Flash Spiraea

Originally created in Russia, this apple tree is incredibly cold hardy and commonly used as a root stock for other apple breeds.

Cross pollination is required with another apple or crabapple tree in order for fruit to be produced. Generally, fruit production does not occur until the tree has reached 5-7 years of age.

Its fruit are yellow/green, low sugar, late fruiting and great for pies and cider.

Neon Flash Spiraea is a colorful, low maintenance, and multi-purpose shrub.

Late spring to fall you'll be drawn to its vibrant neon red blooms that rest on a neat mound of green foliage. If deer and rabbit are an issue on your property, consider planting Neon Flash Spiraea for its deer/rabbit resistance. Its tolerance of a variety of well-drained soils makes it an ideal foundation, landscaping, or border plant.
