The Crafty Cultivator

Like the ‘Brookgold’ Plum, I don’t have a picture of this one. So I’ll try and be extra diligent in getting some this year while it is growing…

Ever since I was little, I wanted apple trees. Finally I had the opportunity to get some, and plant them at my parents house. Someday… Someday I will have my very own orchard.

Quick Notes:

• Cold Hardiness: Zone 3 (some places say Zone 2, and that it is worth a shot in sheltered Zone 1)
• Ripens Mid-August
• Hardy Tree, well rated for the Prairies
• Introduced by the Morden Research Station in Manitoba in 1979
• Stores well, good for fresh eating and also cooking.
• Latin: Malus ‘Parkland’

I read somewhere that this apple owes part of its breeding to the Rescue Apple… So I have a little family in “my” orchard 😉
