Hurlbut Apple Tree on Standard sized root stock
$30.00
Medium to large-sized dessert apple. Hurlbut has a thick skin that is greenish-yellow largely covered with a rusty red coat. Some russeting at the stem end can occur. Its yellowish white flesh is mildly sweet, crisp, very juicy, and has hints of warm spices. A very dense apple that is best cut up to eat.
Originated in CT in the early 1800’s. The scion wood from our tree came from E.B. White’s farm, here in Brooklin, ME. A very strong-growing, spreading tree, although we have not found it to bear heavily.
5 Star Nursery and Orchard is a small family-owned, MOFGA certified organic farm located in Brooklin. We specialize in heirloom and native varieties of fruit and plants. We also make our own specialty apple products, including cider, vinegar, and dried fruit.
