Newtown Pippin Apple Tree on Standard sized root stock
$30.00
A large, smooth, green apple that’s tart and crunchy. Mellows in storage over the winter. Really shines in pies and cider.
Originated in Newtown, NY (Now Elmhurst) in the early 1700’s. Quite the famous apple in its day, being loved by Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson and was all the rage in England in the late 1700’s. Will start to bear young; biennial tendencies. Seems to be a variety that is very climate particular and does best in very rich soil.
