AMBROSIA APPLE TREE
Malus domestica 'Ambrosia' is commonly referred to as Ambrosia Apple Tree. It is small tree that produces lightly scented white flowers that emerge from red buds. Leaves are dark green and turn yellow in fall. The fruits are showy red apples with a light green blush and white flesh. The apples are sweet and tender, excellent for eating raw and in fresh salads. The apples are ready for picking in September and require a pollinator such as Granny Smith or CandyCrisp®.
Ambrosia Apple thrives in full sun in average to moist conditions. It should not be allowed to dry out. It is ideal as an accent and for an orchard for edible landscaping.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Select a site with full sun and well-drained soil to ensure optimal fruit production and prevent root rot. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and make sure it remains two to three inches above the soil line. Backfill with native soil, water thoroughly to settle the roots, and apply a thick layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture, making sure it does not touch the trunk.
