Mcintosh apples are a time-tested variety that has been one of America’s favorite Apples since its discovery over 200 years ago. The bright-red apples are a true all-purpose American apple with a crisp and sweet flavor that everyone will enjoy.
McIntosh Apple trees produce bountiful crops of small to medium-sized apples that ripen and are ready for harvest around mid-September. Often, the fruit persists into early winter on the tree. McIntosh Apples are very hardy and can easily withstand the colder temperatures of the north.
McIntosh Apple Trees are not self-pollinating, so you will need to have two trees planted within 50 feet of one another for apple production. The second tree doesn’t need to be a McIntosh. Any apple variety will do.
Trivia Fact: Apple, the maker of the iPhone, named their “Mac” computers after the Red McIntosh apple
