The KinderKrisp apple is a compact, cold-hardy variety that delivers Honeycrisp-style crunch and flavor on a smaller, easier-to-manage tree. Its crisp, juicy flesh offers a sweet, well-balanced taste with just a hint of tang — perfect for snacking right off the tree. The bright red fruit is medium-sized and holds its texture beautifully.
KinderKrisp thrives in zones 3–7 and is ideal for backyard growers or smaller spaces. The tree produces showy spring blossoms, reliable annual yields, and a mid-season harvest. Plant in full sun with well-drained soil, and pair with another apple variety for pollination. A family favorite that’s crisp, flavorful, and delightfully easy to grow.
Why Bare Root
The benefits of buying and planting bare root trees are extensive. Bare root trees are more cost effective and will typically reach their mature size quicker. They are easier to manage and plant due to not being established within a medium in a container. Bare root shrubs and trees will grow faster since they have 200% more root mass than that of trees purchased in a container or B&B. The plants are also not having to go through the adjustment period of acclimating to different soil conditions since they are not coming in a medium. For more information, please see CSU Extension Service’s “The Science of Planting Trees.”
Pickup for all Bare Root Plants will take place at The Shire at Old Ranch (3860 Old Ranch Rd., Colorado Springs, CO 80908) March 28th and 29th from 9:00am-5:00pm.
