A semi-dwarf apple tree that produces medium-sized, firm, and tart apples, perfect for fresh eating, baking, or cider. Known for its excellent winter hardiness, this cultivar thrives in colder climates, maturing in late September to early October. Its white-pink blossoms in spring attract pollinators, and the fruit’s crisp texture and rich flavor make it a favorite for home orchards. 'Haralson' requires cross-pollination with another apple variety and offers reliable yields, along with good disease resistance, particularly against fire blight.

Growing Tips for Malus domestica ''Haralson''
Grows best in full sun and well-drained soils with medium moisture levels. To ensure good fruit production, it requires cross-pollination from another apple variety, such as 'Honeycrisp' or 'Jonathan.' Regular pruning is essential for airflow and sunlight penetration, helping to maintain tree health and fruit quality. Adequate mulching around the base can help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
