Macoun Apple Tree
Macoun Apple Tree
Macoun apples have crisp white flesh under skin that’s deep red over green. It’s a cross between McIntosh and Jersey Black. It’s great for snacks, in salads, and as applesauce. It’s delicious, but it doesn’t keep as well as some other apples, so plan to use them as you harvest. The Macoun is cold-hardy and ripens in September. Be sure to pick a pollinator buddy in the same bloom time!
