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.

Rootstock: EMLA-7.
"The most widely planted freestanding semi-dwarf rootstock. EMLA 7 trees exhibit an open spreading-type growth similar to peach trees in size. The trees size fruit well in a dry season. Trees are relatively well anchored, but support is recommended on weak sites. EMLA 7 has a tendency to rootsucker."
