Yellow Newtown Apple

Step back in time with the Yellow Newtown Apple (Malus domestica 'Yellow Newtown Pippin'), a historic heirloom that was a personal favorite of both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. This versatile apple is world-renowned for its complex, refreshing flavor—a perfect balance of tartness and sugary sweetness that only improves after a few weeks in storage. In the spring, the tree provides a charming ornamental display, becoming draped in clusters of fragrant, white-to-pink blossoms that are a magnet for honeybees.

The fruit itself is a beautiful greenish-yellow, occasionally sporting a faint reddish blush. Its crisp, firm, and juicy flesh makes it a "triple threat" in the orchard: it’s spectacular for fresh eating, holds its shape perfectly in pies and baking, and is considered one of the premier varieties for high-quality hard cider. As a late-season ripener, the Yellow Newtown allows you to extend your harvest well into the autumn. This vigorous, hardy tree is a true heritage piece that brings both historical prestige and gourmet quality to your backyard.
