description for "Apples: Malus pumila 'Roxbury Russet'"
This old favorite has been proven for more than three centuries. Ripens mid-October and keeps until April. Great for juice or cider. Yields an average of 5 bushels with some variation depending on the season. Will reach a height of 10-12 feet at maturity. Plant trees 15-20 feet apart. Needs well drained soil. Full sun is best, but must have at least a half day of sun. Good for an espalier. Shows resistance to scab and cedar apple rust. Two varieties are needed for pollination. 'Cortland', 'McIntosh', 'Yellow Delicious', 'Newtown Pippin' and 'Grimes Golden' are particularly effective pollinators. Edited by M.Tate.
