AJ Downing, in the 1860 edition of his Fruits and Fruit Trees of America, calls this dessert apple “very tender, juicy, rich, vinous, aromatic, a beautiful and excellent fruit.” We agree 100%. On a good year from our tree, the Garden Royals are perfectly balanced and highly flavored. Aptly named, it is truly regal.

Small to medium-sized round-conic fruit is deep red with prominent white dots. No scab. Blooms midseason. Z4. (Standard: 3–6' bare-root trees)
