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.

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.
