Developed by Purdue University, this is a late-maturing, deep red apple with good keeping qualities. Fruit is uniform and medium to large in size. Tree is vigorous and spreading, with good annual bearing habits. Enterprise™ is highly resistant to fire blight and cedar apple rust. It is becoming an important processing variety.

Current Sale Size: 1/2" upFTH* caliper, 5-6 ft. bare root transplant
* Upgraded by the nursery to 1/2" caliper, feathered (FTH) stock, meaning they'll have already have some mature branches.

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."
