Early-Season Apple with Outstanding Flavor
Zestar Apple (Malus 'Zestar') is a relative newcomer; first being introduced in 1999 in Minnesota. With an exceptional balance of spicy-sweet flavor against the slight tang of its crisp, juicy flesh, Zestar has quickly established itself as a must-have for the apple enthusiast.
Zestar is not only delicious, but also beautiful, with a bright red skin enhanced by delicate yellow/green highlights. It has good storage life, lasting as long as 2 months with proper refrigeration.
Zestar apple trees are cold hardy and one of the earliest to ripen. You'll be picking apples as early as August!. Cortland is a recommended pollinator for your Zestar apple trees as well as any white blossoming crab apples.
This early-ripening and long-storing apple will be a lovely addition to your home, and offer you a harvest of delectable fruit for years to come. You'll rarely find these in grocery stores and we have a hard time keeping them in stock. Order yours today!
