Apple Pacific Rose

Apple Pacific Rose Details

The Pacific Rose apple is a popular variety that bears large sized fruit in autumn. The fruit are dark pink-red with flesh that is crisp and juicy, and fantastic for eating fresh. The M9 rootstock keeps this Pacific Rose Apple tree to about 3 m tall and 2.5 m wide, though it can be trimmed as necessary. It is self-pollinating and so does not require another apple variety planted close by to produce fruit. Best results with this variety are achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost, though a late frost in spring can reduce yields. The Pacific Rose apple is commonly planted for fruit production, included in a mixed planting, or maintained in a courtyard garden.
