Gurney's Seed and Nursery Co. - Red-Luscious Apple Tree
Compared to Red Delicious for fresh eating, Red-Luscious has a more intense, sweet and rich flavor. Its unique balance of acids and sweetness makes it the best apple to slice and dry in the microwave for "leather" treats. Perfect for neglected backyards since it is highly resistant to all apple diseases-a breakthrough in apple breeding. Ripens over a 2 week period in early Aug. for easier harvest.
Gurney's Choice For top-quality crops in any region. Excellent cold hardiness and tolerance to late spring frosts makes Contender superb for Northern growers.
