With the Empire Apple Tree (Malus 'Empire'), you get the best two of the world's most beloved Apple varieties: the Red Delicious and the McIntosh. Because it offers the best characteristics of both of its parents, you know this is an apple that won't remain in your fruit bowl for long. It offers longer-lasting fruit and a super sweet taste with a crisp snap of firm flesh inside. Like most Macintosh offspring, it is happy to set many, many little apples for you if you let it. You'll want to thin out the crop each year to get bigger and better apples.

Crown Empire is is best grown in zones 4-8 and although it is partially fertile, you'll want to pollinate it with another apple tree like pollinated with Gold Rush, Gala & Red Delicious apple trees. Mature height & width is 8-12' so it's a good semi dwarf variety. Our apple trees are 3 year trees that our sold in 5 gallon lines and are approximately 6' tall and have a trunk of approximately 1.5". 

Because fruit trees often require cross pollination, we offer our five gallon size fruit trees at a "buy two trees and get an additional 15% off" for customers enrolled in our rewards program (excluding fruit bearing cherry trees).
