Niedzwetzkyana Apple

Malus spp. Fall. Malus pumila Discovered by NE Hansen in Kazakhstan, 1896, or possibly by George Dieck in Siberia, 1891.

Of great importance in apple breeding, considered to be the original source for nearly all red-fleshed and pink-flowered apples. Red flowers, reddish foliage and 2" red-fleshed fruit that may be too tart for fresh eating but is recommended for cider, pies and sauce. Dark red skin with a small russeted stem area and a scattering of pinpoint white dots. The flesh fades from whitish to solid pink.

John Fiala says that Niedzwetzkyana and Almata may be identical, but we think not. For a decent attempt to sort it all out, see Fiala’s book, Flowering Crabapples. Scab prone. Blooms early. Z4. (Standard: 3–6' bare-root trees)
