About This Product
Winesap is truly an all-purpose apple with a multi-tude of uses in cider, apple butter, apple pies, desserts, and of course, fresh eating right off the tree. The large fruit is colored bright crimson with soft white speckles adorning the skin. Winesap apples have actually been referenced their outstanding flavor as far back as the year 1804. This is a true American variety which is believed to have been discovered during the Colonial days, and was incredibly popular from that time, the 1700's, up until the 1950s. Its wide cultivation for over 200-years speaks volumes about the many amazing qualities of Winesap apples. The sprightly sweet-tart flavor is reminiscent of Pink Lady apples, while also remaining unique with its tangy tasting notes. Winesap is also well-known to be 1 of the longest lasting apples after being picked off the tree. This was a huge benefit in the past 2 centuries before apples were kept in cold storage to sell in grocery stores year-round. Especially prized for apple cider and its long shelf life, Winesap is a wonderful apple worth growing in any home orchard.

Questions & Answers
Is one tree is enough for getting apples every year, or should I buy two for pollination?

What root stock are these apple trees grafted on?
Based on the height/width of 15ft, I'd suspect M.109 or M.111 rootstock for these trees. Just an educated guess though.
What rootstock are these planted on?
ground, unknown nutrient concentration, yet sandy soil, watered once a week, shaded half the day, less shady as it grows taller, roots has access to dry cool soil on one side and arid soil on the other.
What size tree is this when it is mature?
10-15'
10-15 '
10 - 15 '
Can this be planted in NJ in November or is it too cooled. Daytime 50's night time 40's right now ??
Yes. Cover for winter.
Does this need to be paired with a second Winesap for pollinating or can another apple trees be used, say Fuji, Granny Smith, or Delicious?
It will not pollinate with another winesap. It needs to be paired with two different varieties, such as a crabapple or two fruiting apple varieties that can pollinate one another. Here's a chart: https://www.orangepippintrees.com/pollinationchecker.aspx
Yes
Yes.
Is the tree self pollinating?
no
Winesap apples are actually a "triploid" variety. It needs to cross pollinate with two different varieties that also cross pollinate with each other. Alternatively, you can have it cross pollinate with a self fertile variety such as Golden Delicious or Grannysmith.
No, it is not self Pollinating.
NO
