The Wolf River Apple, Malus 'Wolf River', is best known for its large size, which can grow up to 5"" diameter fruit. This is one enormous apple! The fruit is so large that some have said that just one apple can make a pie! These huge fruits have been prized for years for baking, applesauce, and apple butter. Weighing up to 1 pound each, the apple is pale yellow to green with carmine-red blushes and stripes. It is thick-skinned, tart, and aromatic. The Wolf River apple is scab and mildew resistant and very winter hardy. An old variety, it is long lived and ripens mid-September to early October in Zone 5. Wolf River is a midseason apple grown best in northern climates. 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.
