Apple (Malus) ‘Liberty’ Semi-dwarf 5 Gal

One of the very best apple trees for natural disease resistance!

Great apple for beginners, busy gardeners, and those looking for easy-to-grow trees using strictly organic methods! Medium to large, bright, shiny, McIntosh type fruit is red striped with yellow-green background. Extremely disease resistant: resists apple scab, cedar apple rust, fire blight, and powdery mildew. Best for fresh eating, cooking, and canning. May benefit from extra calcium, and thinning of fruits. Spur-bearing.

Early to Mid-season bloomer. Fruit does not ripen at the same time. Pollinator required; poor pollinator of other trees. This means you'll want at least 3 different apple trees blooming around the same time.

Disease resistances: apple scab (immune), cedar apple rust (highly resistant), fireblight (highly resistant), and powdery mildew (highly resistant).
