(21 customer reviews)

Although Honeycrisp remains a force to be reckoned with in the apple world, some of it's easier-to-grow progeny aspire to attain equal prominence. One of the newest, next-generation varieties is KinderKrisp, developed by David MacGregor in Minnesota. Exhilarating Honeycrisp texture combined with exceptional flavour endears this perfect snack to kids of all ages. Cute, child-size, rosy red apples are tops for packed lunches. They ripen right at the start of the school year and will hang on the tree for an extended period.

Growing Tips

Apple Growing Tip

Besides selecting the most disease resistant varieties, there are
a few simple things to do to have better apples.

  • Fertilize under the outer edges of your trees. There are no feeder roots next to the trunk. A well fed tree stays healthier. (Adequate calcium in the soil also helps so that apples keep longer.)
  • Pick up fallen fruit and compost, dispose of, or feed to livestock (where possible).
  • Rake up leaves in the fall and compost them away from the orchard.
  • Prune trees to encourage light and air to reach the inside of the tree.
  • Provide bird nesting sites near your orchard. A variety of orchard companion type plants will attract native pollinator insects and also encourage birds to come and eat insect pests.

Product Overview
Apple (Malus) One of the most challenging fruits to grow organically, but take heart! Choosing one of our scab resistant varieties is a good start. With the vast array of flavours available (even for colder regions) in this healthy, versatile fruit, it would be a shame not to try a few trees. Natural pest control with insect traps and kaolin clay sprays can be used if desired. However, apples that are less than picture perfect are still just as flavourful and nutritious. Even with insect damaged fruit all is not lost. Drying, juicing or making apple sauce are still great options. Remember the old adage ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’ was coined before the days of pesticide sprays. 1-2m (3-6') bareroot trees

    All the trees I have received where close to perfection. The rootstocks were impeccable. The size was as I was expecting. Quality at arrival was flawless. You shipping method is almost perfect.... See Blackice for my only negative experience. Thank you very much to all your crew. I think we're gonna be friends for a long time!

    Bought 2 varieties of semi-dwarf apple trees -Snowsweet and Kindercrisp, along with roses. I kept them in the box in the basement for a week and after a month, they are thriving. Blueberry bushes bought from Whiffletree a few years ago were planted in containers and not cared for at all but are still healthy as well.

    Product arrived when promised. So far so good - I'll have a better answer next spring when I see if the tree survived winter.

    My order arrived quick. It was well packaged and now it’s growing nicely in a pot on the patio

    Ordered very late in the season, it arrived quickly and leafed out beautifully within a week. It's doing very well despite my dog running it over twice.

What is Orchard Grade?

An 'orchard grade' is a tree that may be somewhat shorter, slightly crooked, or a bit scratched, or for some other reason is not a perfect front lawn specimen. These trees will work just as well in an orchard as a first or number one would, since they still produce the very same fruit.

What is a 2 year old tree?

A '2 year old tree' is one that has grown an extra season in our nursery field.

All our trees are planted in the field in the spring as rootstock. They are grafted in August of the 1st year. Most of our trees are dug out in November of the 2nd year. Some trees are in the ground for another season. We dig these in November of the 3rd year. These are considered to be '2 year old trees'.

A '2 year old tree' has bigger roots, a thicker trunk, and more branching (They might start fruiting a year earlier).
