Summerred Apple Tree

Summerred is an Ottawa apple introduced around 1960 from a cross of McIntosh and Red Delicious. Its medium, slightly oblong fruit is nearly covered in bright red and has crisp, very juicy flesh with mild sweetness and low acidity.

The fruit ripens in late August and is best for fresh eating or early sauce. It stores only into mid fall and is susceptible to apple scab.
