An old apple originating in Bucks Co., Pennsylvania before 1842 which became widely popular throughout the South. In the South the tree grows well only at altitudes above 1,500 feet. Mountain-grown fruits ripen later in the season and keep longer in cold storage. Its sweet, mild flavor and attractive large size make this a good market variety. Fruit large to very large with dull green skin shaded with red and bronze. Flesh is greenish white, tender, coarse and juicy. Ripens late September to mid October and is a good keeper.

      Hi Laura,
      We have a couple of Fallawater trees still available for purchase and delivery this fall for $20 each plus S&H. Visit our website at http://bighorsecreekfarm.com/fall-varieties/ where you can view the current list of trees ready for delivery this season. For detailed information on how to submit an order go to http://bighorsecreekfarm.com/how-to-order/.

      We strongly suggest fall planting for the best results. The “trick” to successfully raising healthy apple trees is to concentrate on developing strong root systems. When you plant a fruit tree it will have a limited amount of stored energy reserves that, in the best situation, should go into developing strong, healthy roots. Since the fall-planted tree is dormant when put into the ground, it does not need to expend these limited energy reserves on developing top growth. By planting trees in the fall all the stored resources go solely into root development. Even during the dead of winter the tree will be actively developing roots in preparation for new spring growth. When spring arrives the tree will be well-prepared for uptake of water and soil nutrients. “Everything begins and ends with the roots!”

      Hope this will be of some help. Thanks for writing.

    Will you have any Falla Water apple trees available in fall 2017 ? If so, would these be 1/2″ to3/4″ caliper ? And would these be on a M111 root stock ? Thank you for any help you may afford me. Terry Harder
