Apple x 'McIntosh': The Distinctive Flavour of McIntosh

McIntosh produces bright red apples with a recognisable, crisp flavour and a mid-September harvest. Spring blossom and the colourful crop make it an attractive working tree as well as a familiar kitchen favourite.

Plant Characteristics:

• Flower Colour: White, Pale Pink
• Flowering Period: Spring
• Foliage: Green
• Sunlight Requirements: Full Sun
• Soil Requirements: Well-Drained Soil; Average to Dry Soil

Uses and Benefits: Enjoy the apples fresh or cook them into seasonal dishes. Their moderate storage life makes regular use of the harvest more useful than saving the entire crop for winter.

Care Instructions: Provide a compatible apple with overlapping flowers. Water consistently while fruit develops, thin crowded clusters and pick with care so the red skins remain sound for storage.
