Mutsu (Dwarf)

Description

Mutsu is a variety that produces tasty, yellow fruits that can be enjoyed fresh or cooked. Mutsu is a cross between Golden Delicious and a Japanese apple Indo. The taste is prized for its complex flavor with notes of spice, sweetness, and honey. The fruit is large and juicy. This is a versatile variety that is a great choice for fresh eating, cooking and baking. Mutsu apple trees are cold hardy and stores well.

One problem with these trees is that they may only produce fruit biennially.  They also don’t make good pollinators for other apple trees.
