CrimsonCrisp Apple
CrimsonCrisp®, originally known as Co-op 39, is medium in size with a very attractive crimson red color. It has a very firm, crisp texture with a tart, complex favor. The tree is very grower friendly with a spreading habit, fruiting throughout the tree on two-and three-year-old branches. The fruit matures in mid-season and will keep in cold storage for six months.
