Malus ‘Williams’ Pride’- Disease-resistant Apple – 5-Gallon

Probably the most popular summer apple among the newly developed disease-resistant introductions. It’s actually crisp, which is rare for a summer apple. Deep solid purple roundish-conic fruit. Cream-colored flesh with red staining just under the skin is firm, crisp and very juicy, with a nice blend of tart and sweet, reminiscent of ‘Fameuse.’ Long ripening period. Vigorous annually bearing tree with some biennial tendency, well-shaped with strong right-angled branches that do not require careful training. Highly resistant to fireblight, cedar-apple rust and sooty blotch, resistant to powdery mildew. Scab immune. Blooms early-midseason.
