Sweet and luscious, the WineCrisp™ Apple Tree (Malus ‘Co-op31') is a dessert apple that’s as beautiful as it is delicious! From first bloom until fall and through all of winter, this is a gorgeous ornamental edible!

Spring brings fragrant white blossoms for your pollinators and then handsome foliage throughout the growing season and of course, delectable apples that have a purple to wine-red blush once ripe! Sometimes this fruit can appear almost black!

Vivid green foliage throughout the year is vigorously growing and fills out this tree’s beautiful spreading form! These apples have a creamy white-colored flesh and wonderful citrus and spice flavor that’s both sweet and tangy! Perfect for baking, canning and holds up perfectly when cooked.

Planting and Application:

Easy to grow, WineCrisp™ is very cold hardy and not minding pruning to any size or shape that best suits your property! The lush foliage is perfect for shading garden beds and adorning your backyard entertaining areas.

Small enough of a tree, and prunable smaller, front landscaping gains a flowering ornamental tree that also produces beautiful tasty gems! Ripening during October, these are great fresh and get better after some time in storage. In fact, WineCrisp™ can remain in cold storage for several months.

  • Dark reddish-purple skin & creamy white flesh
  • Late season dessert Apple
  • Rich flavor that’s sweet & tangy with spicy citrusy notes
  • Long storage - flavor develops as it matures off the tree
  • Vigorous growth

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Fruit trees do their absolute best in full sun and well-drained soil. While not particular on soil type, any enriched, mulched and moderately moist soil is perfect to support the vigorous growth, precocious nature and juicy fruit set for your WineCrisp™!

  • Disease resistant - especially to scab, blight & mildew
  • Our Garden Blog has more Fruit Tree Planting & Success Tips
  • Prune yearly and thin fruit to avoid overbearing
  • Tolerant of cold, but also dry, hot conditions

WineCrisp™ Apple Tree Frequently Asked Questions

When to Plant WineCrisp™ Apple Trees

Planting Bareroot trees as soon as you can dig a hole in spring and until hot weather, the earlier the better. Plant container Apple trees throughout the growing season with complete success - that is the benefit of container plants - to extend the planting season. Your County Agricultural Extension Office is a great resource for first and last frost dates in your area.

How to Plant WineCrisp™ Apple Trees

Dig a large hole only as deep as needed to accommodate the bareroot or container root ball, and twice as wide. Add Nature Hills Root Booster to speed root establishment. Remove the pot or bag and situate it into the hole so the top of the soil (soil line if bareroot), is level with the new location's soil being careful not to plant too deep. Water in again very well and backfill with the same soil you dug up, tamping down gently to ensure there are no air pockets.

Top off with a 3-4 inch thick layer of Arborist mulch. Consider staking your tree to keep its trunk growing straight for the first year to ensure it stands tall against strong winds and drifting snow.

When to Prune WineCrisp™ Apple Trees

Trim off any broken branches from delivery as soon as you take them out of the box. Prune and trim apple trees while dormant, in late winter or early spring, before you see new growth.

How to Prune WineCrisp™ Apple Trees

Dormant prune to:

  • Remove any double leaders or narrow crotch angles
  • Eliminate any crossing branches
  • Thin interior branching and leave the fruiting spurs and strong branches in place opening up the canopy
  • Branching at least 24-36 inches above the ground

Prune Apple trees in the summer to:

  • Control size and shape by reducing the length of longer new growth on vigorous trees
  • Remove water sprouts on the main trunk or older branches in the crown
  • Remove suckers at the base of the trunk
  • Thin fruit during heavy years on established trees

How to Care for WineCrisp™ Apple Trees

Growing an apple tree is easy when proper soil, good drainage, attention to moisture, and regular fertility are maintained. Once you've chosen an apple tree that works for your climate, in the size you need for your landscape, and its pollinator (if needed), then you've accomplished half the battle!

  • Apple trees do best in full sun and well-drained soil
  • Water your apple trees when they get dry - especially during the fruit production stage, and drought periods to keep them stress-free
  • Use arborists' wood chips to mulch over the roots of your apples and have your soil tested to see what your soil may be lacking before adding fertilizers
  • Maintenance pruning and shaping

Apple trees will tolerate a wide range of soils, so long as water and nutrients are not limited and the pH level is adequate.

How to Fertilize WineCrisp™ Apple Trees

For the first year, water alone is most important. It is always best to get a soil test to see what your soil is lacking before adding more fertilizers. Once established, a fertilizer routine may be beneficial. We do offer some excellent slow-release organic options, applied according to the package directions.

Fruit trees need more phosphate and it's possible to apply too much nitrogen which affects the soil's pH. Test soil acidity or alkalinity using a pH Tester.

Fertilize in spring when you first see new growth emerging.

  • Don't overdo it
  • Phosphates are your friends
  • Pay attention to pH in areas with extremely high or low soil pH
  • Follow the directions

Harvest Times for WineCrisp™ Apple Trees

WineCrisp™’s are typically ready to harvest in October.

Early-Season? Mid-Season? Late-Season? The terminology can be confusing for new apple tree growers. Weather, climate and your tree determine when it's ripe.

For Apples:

  • Early-season is usually June-July
  • Mid-season can be August-September
  • Late-season can be from late September-November

The growing season consists of spring, summer, and fall, and varies with climate and weather. Areas with longer growing seasons in the warmer hardiness zones can greatly affect the harvest times for each particular apple variety grown in your area. Learn which growing zone you are in.
