Puget Spice Cider Apple

Malus spp. Late Fall. Bittersharp cider apple. Prima × Alkmene. WA St U intro, 2012.

Eve’s Cidery in Van Etten, NY, where we originally got our scionwood, calls Puget Spice a “high gravity tannin acid bomb.” Bright red 2" crabapples have everything you need to make a good cider. Lots of sugar, bitterness and acidity make this a good candidate for a single varietal. (SG 1.057, acidity 0.96%, tannin 0.13%) Crabs can be a pain to pick in large quantities but these gems shake easily off of the tree when ripe. If you don’t pick them, they’ll hang on quite long into the winter providing a nice and colorful food source for wildlife.

Trees have a distinctly upright habit and are highly disease resistant, immune to scab and mildew. Great pollenizer with a long midseason bloom time. Z4. Maine Grown. NEW! (Semi-dwarf: 2½–5' bare-root trees)
