Malus 'Wealthy'
Naturehills.com carries thousands of products including the Wealthy
from the Fruit Trees family.
The Wealthy Apple, Malus 'Wealthy', is the first commercial apple variety developed in Minnesota. It produces striped red fruit with a tart balanced flavor. This is a multi-purpose apple, but it is especially good for cooking, such as pies, sauces and juices. Wealthy often bears fruit the first year and keeps well. Its fruit tends to drop at maturity. This tree is cold-hardy, small in size, and usually bears fruit well. The Wealthy apple fruit is red, large, and has somewhat rough skin and the apples mature early September. Careful early training, annual pruning, and shaping, are required to insure healthy and productive trees. Plant about a month after the first killing frost in the fall or about a month before the last killing frost in the spring. Select a planting site that has good air, drainage, full sunlight and deep, well drained soil.
