Malus ‘Parkland’

Fruit: Apple

Small, rounded, very prairie-hardy apple tree. Lightly scented, white spring flowers and green, pointy foliage that turns yellow in fall. Apples are green-yellow with red blush skin on sunny side, cream-white flesh, 2.5″ in size and have a mild, pleasant taste. Good for eating fresh, cooking and has moderate storage abilities. Bears fruit heavy biennially (every other year); ripens mid-late August. Needs well-drained soil but tolerates many other soil types. Fertilize in spring with a good compost or an all-purpose fertilizer before new growth emerges. For major pruning wait until late winter while tree is dormant; suckers or dead, broken, and diseased branches, can be removed anytime. Prune while young to create open centered branching to allow for even sunlight which results in better ripening of fruit and good air circulation.

Requires another variety of apple tree within 500′ for cross-pollination (approximately one city block).

Available in select potted sizes.
