Searsburg Cherrybomb Cider Apple

Malus spp. Early Fall. Sharp cider apple. Eric Shatt, Redbyrd Cider selection, Finger Lakes region, NY.

Abundant small bright red crabapples almost look like ripe cherries on the tree. Surprising orange flesh is tart with sharp bright acidity, but also packs a lot of sugar. The best thing about this apple is that the trees are “absolutely clean of foliage blemishes with no spray!” according to Shatt. Cedar apple rust can be a huge problem in New York orchards and Cherrybomb has had no issues.

On trial here in Maine. Seems like a good candidate to use as a parent in the quest to breed climate-resilient and naturally disease-resistant apple varieties. Midseason bloom. Z4. Maine Grown. NEW! (Semi-dwarf: 2½–5' bare-root trees)
