Pristine Apple - Malus spp | Enterprise Apple - Malus spp |
Even earlier than William's Pride. Pristine has good disease resistant to cedar apple rust and apple scab, but can get spur blight in wet springs. The bright yellow fruit dependably ripens here yearly. Excellent for fresh eating for such an early apple. A good keeper for an early apple. Texture is not hard like a winter apple, but crisp and zesty. A good substitute for Lodi apple, being good for apple sauce like Lodi but much better quality for eating out of hand. Space 10' circles for dwarf trees and 15' for semi-dwarf. Space 25' for standard. Zones 5-7.

Arkansas Black Spur is a more compact form of Arkansas Black apple. In spur growth the buds of the branches are closer together. The result is more flowering and leafing in a shorter distance. Since the branching is not as long, the tree is smaller, but very well rooted and anchored to the ground,since it's grafted on a seedling root. Fruits are large and very dark red. Keeps for months in storage. Non-browning in fruit salads. A very good tree for hot summer areas and needs 500-600 hours of winter temps below 45 degrees F. Height 10' and same width. Space 12' circle. Zone 5-8
