Spartan Apple Tree
Apple Spartan is an unusual deep red/purple skinned apple with white flesh. The fruit is juicy and crisp and eats like a green apple with a satisfying crunch. The flavour is sweet and a note of honeyed wine is often apparent. As well as being a tasty eating apple, Spartan makes a good juice.
Adorned with pretty pale pink to white spring flowers followed by burgundy fruits, Spartan is a particularly attractive apple tree. It will produce heavy, reliable crops of medium sized apples in early October. Pollination is required by another apple in group A, B or C situated within a half mile radius.
From Canada in 1926, Malus domestica 'Spartan' is a tough tree for Northern and less favourable areas.
