Prairie Sensation Apple vs Eastern Redbud
Malus x Prairie Sensation
Cercis canadensis
Prairie Sensation Apple is a cold hardy tree that produces large, delicious apples that are great for fresh eating.
Developed at the University of Saskatchewan, the apples produced by Prairie Sensation have been reported to have a juicy, crisp, and sweet flavor. Beautifully round in shape, these apples range from yellow to green with a reddish overlay.
For fruit production, cross-pollination is required. Apples need to be planted with another Apple or Crab Apple variety.
Note: We do not ship grafted apples to BC due to regulatory restrictions from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
The Eastern Redbud is known for the pea-like pink buds that emerge in clusters on the bark, embellishing the tree in stunning flowers. They have a longer bloom time, sometimes for two to three weeks before the heart-shaped leaves emerge for the summer. Inedible pods emerge that turn brown in the summer, this tree is a part of the bean family.
Native to the Eastern North America. The Eastern Redbud can tolerate acidic and alkaline soil. Plant this as a beautiful understory species or shaded residential yard or garden. The bright pop of color will make an attractive ornamental tree.
