Stayman Winesap Apple
Malus spp
Stayman Winesap trees can flourish without care. Examples of older trees in our area that are uncared for still produce usable fruit. Usually they go into alternate bearing and produce heavy crops every other year when not cared for. Trees are resistant like Arkansas Black Apple. The fruit can be very large. They ripen early fall and can soften quickly at room temperature, but will keep in the refrigerator for about 6 weeks. Flavor is tart-mild with a crisp texture, and very good eating. Excellent taste for juicing and cider blends. It is a favorite roadside market apple in Virginia. Developed in 1866 from Leavenworth KS. Stayman does not pollinate other apples, so it's a good trio tree, with 2 different varieties planted near by. Zone 5-8 800 chill hours required.
