Royal Empire Apple Tree

Size: 4-6 ft. tall, bareroot stock.    

A medium sized scarlet-red apple, a cross of Red Delicious and McIntosh, with a sweet yet tangy flavor. An excellent snacking apple, caramel apples, and baking. Very firm texture, a good storing apple. A bountiful producer.  Harvest mid-late September

Semi-dwarf, will reach 12-15 ft. at maturity.

These trees are semi-standard and will come as bareroot stock. Dig hole wide enough to accommodate the roots when spread out. Plant with bud union 3 inches above the soil line to prevent the graft from rooting. Fill the hole, and pat it down to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly. All apple varieties require other varieties of apples to pollinate and produce fruit.
