Very Early, Crisp, Abundant, Sweet, Some Tart, Good early eating and early applesauce

Beautiful Medium sized apple you can look forward to in July! The tree is very abundant and appears to have alternate bearing crops of larger better apples. You must pick quickly when they are ripe because like most early apples, they get mealy quick. Great for eating fresh and making apple sauce. At home in July, we take 3 or 4 early apple varieties and cook them down together to make the best applesauce! Other early varieties we offer include, 4th of July, Early Sweet Tart, NSJ King, Mitchelson's Seedling and Willow.

This apple tree grows on Leland's old homestead in Camptonville with many other old trees. Leland grew up in Camptonville, the son of the postmaster who became a postmaster himself. He knew everybody and all the town news. He was a WW2 fighter pilot, photographer, collector, historian, post master and many other things. In his later years he was considered the Camptonville town historian. We miss him dearly. Love you Leland, thanks for everything!
