Red Prairie Spy Apple Tree

This apple cultivator was developed and introduced in 1940 by the University of Minnesota.

It has done well in my area in regards to the winter conditions. I have had little to no branch die back. The tree has blossomed every year. One year almost all of the blossoms were killed by a late frost which resulted in very few apples in the fall.

Apples are medium sized with firm to hard flesh.
Ripens late October.

I purchased this tree from Reit’s Garden Center,
310 Urquhart Rd; Stanley,  WI 54768; Ph: 715-644-2303
