Fall-winter.
Golden Delicious × Indo. Kuroishi, Aomori, Japan, 1986.
High-quality sweet dessert fruit is large to very large, conic and yellow with a pink blush. Although not as famous as Mutzu, another Japanese apple with the same parentage, Shizuka is one of those modern apples that could make it big one of these days in the grocery-store world. Gaining an enthusiastic following at the roadside stands of small commercial orchards.
Worth a trial. Should keep most of the winter in your root cellar or controlled atmospheric vault. Triploid: will not pollinate other apples. Blooms midseason. Z4. Maine Grown.
(Standard: 3–6' bare-root trees)
