RubyRush® Apple Tree | EMLA 7 (60% Size) - Bare Root (Spring 2026)

RubyRush is a promising new release from the Rutgers University/ New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station(NJAES) selected for it's sweet, crisp and juicy apples and grower friendly disease resistance.  A cross between two of my favorite hardy, disease resistant varieties Enterprise and GoldRush. The result is a tree that is resistant to fireblight, cedar apple rust and scab! It has proven itself to be a highly vigorous tree which helps with early growth and establishment but should be thinned to maintain annual fruit production.
