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.
This rare cultivar is a local favorite in New Brunswick where it was discovered as a chance seedling. Medium-large, deep maroon apples with crunchy, pink veined flesh are aromatic and attractive. Great for fresh eating but even better for drying. In a New Brunswick trial testing the drying characteristics of over a hundred apple varieties, the terrific flavour of Tangowine garnered top place. Hardy and scab resistant, it makes on interesting addition to any orchard.
