Malus ‘Melrose’- Heirloom Apple – 7-Gallon

 The official state apple of Ohio, where it originated. With rich flavor and coarse, juicy flesh, ‘Melrose’ is a good fresh-eating apple, especially when left to age a little while after picking. In storage it develops a warm, fruity aroma. It has a touch of ‘Red Delicious’ sweetness. ‘Melrose’ is an excellent choice for kitchen use, retaining its shape and flavor in the oven. Ripens mid-October. ‘Jonathan’ x ‘Red Delicious’.
