Apple 'Mutsu Crispin Semidwarf'

Mutsu apple trees, also known as Crispin, are a Japanese variety prized for their large, sweet-tart apples with firm, juicy flesh. Ideal for fresh eating, baking, and cider, Mutsu apples ripen in mid to late fall and store well. These trees thrive in temperate climates with full sun and well-drained, loamy soil. To grow them in a home garden, plant in early spring or fall, spacing trees about 15–20 feet apart for standard sizes or 10–12 feet for semi-dwarfs. Ensure consistent watering, especially in the first few years, and apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Annual pruning helps shape the tree and improve air circulation, which reduces disease risk. Mutsu trees require cross-pollination, so plant another apple variety nearby, like Fuji or Golden Delicious. With proper care, Mutsu apple trees will reward gardeners with abundant, flavorful fruit for many seasons. Arrives to you in a 7 gallon pot.
