Apricots, plums, and cherries are all back in stock! And seeing as the groundhog saw his shadow, it looks like we'll all be planting trees early this year!
Ambrosia is an excellent choice as a home grown apple cultivar due to its delicious sweet honeyed flavor, excellent crisp and juicy texture and extreme cold hardiness. Normally apples are classified into 2 categories, baking apples or fresh-eating apples. However, due to its balance of high sugar and low acid content, Ambrosia is 1 of the lucky few to be an excellent choice for both fresh eating and cooking. Unlike most modern apple cultivars which are developed under painstaking care, Ambrosia is 1 of the few edible varieties to be discovered as a seedling purely by chance. Ambrosia apples are also known to be some of the slowest to brown after slicing, making them perfect for a school lunch, fruit platter or fruit salad. The Ambrosia apple tree, botanical name Malus domestice 'Ambrosia', lives most comfortably in USDA Cold Hardiness Zones 4-8 and reaches a 12 ft. H with a 10 ft. W.
