Description
The Fireside apple is a cherished heirloom variety known for its exceptional flavor and impressive hardiness. It is a cold-hardy, productive variety ideal for USDA hardiness zones 4–7, offering abundant fruit with a unique blend of sweet and subtly spicy flavor. This mid-season apple features large, vibrant red fruit with a firm, crisp texture, perfect for both fresh eating and baking. The tree itself matures to a height of approximately 15–20 feet with a wide, spreading canopy, making it a substantial addition to any home orchard or landscape. Fireside apples are prized not only for their great taste but also for their versatility in the kitchen, holding up well when baked or used in sauces. This tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and with annual pruning and moderate watering, it can remain productive for decades. Highly valued for its cold tolerance and adaptability, the Fireside apple tree is an excellent choice for those in colder climates looking for a reliable, flavorful apple. Pollinator is required; the best pollinators are Honeycrisp or Honeygold. USDA ZONES: Zone 4, Zone 5, Zone 6, Zone 7.

How to Plant
STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.
