Liberty Apple Tree
Certified Organic
A disease resistant workhorse!
Blooms early - mid sring
Liberty is a wonderful, scab-resistant variety developed at the Geneva Research Station in the 1960s. It is descended from Macoun, and likewise, Liberty fruits have mottled deep red and yellow smooth skin and yellow-toned flesh. Very sweet flavor, with pleasing tartness; excellent for fresh eating or baking. An excellent keeper.

Choose a site in full sun, with relatively well-drained soil. Plant your tree as soon as possible after pick up, and soak the roots in water a few hours before planting. Dig a hole that will accommodate the roots when they are spread out, plus a little extra room. When planting, keep the tree perpendicular to the ground, and keep the graft a few inches above the soil. Spread the roots out and gently fill in with soil all around. Tamp the soil down and water in very well. Keep well-watered and mulched while young trees are getting established.
