Winecrisp™ Apple (7/8in caliper)

The WineCrisp apple is a standout for its deep red skin, crisp texture, and complex, wine-like sweetness balanced with a gentle tartness. The medium-sized fruit has firm, cream-colored flesh that resists browning — excellent for fresh eating, baking, or long storage, as it keeps its crunch and flavor for months.

This disease-resistant variety thrives in zones 4–7, showing excellent resistance to apple scab and fire blight. The tree is productive and vigorous, offering beautiful spring blooms and a late-season harvest. Plant in full sun with well-drained soil, and pair with another apple variety for best pollination. A flavorful, hardy choice that combines orchard-quality taste with easy care.

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).
