William’s Pride Apple

Malus domestica ‘William’s Pride’

Highly rated for flavor, keeping quality and disease resistance. It ripens in early August and is one of the best of the early apples. The medium-sized, red fruit has a sweet, rich, spicy flavor.

The tree is very productive with strong, well-angled branches. Immune to apple scab and resistant to mildew, cedar rust and fireblight, it’s also an early season bloomer with unusually long-lasting blossoms.
