Liberty is a juicy red variety that is very disease resistant. In fact, it received its name based on the idea that it has been liberated from many of the common diseases that can plague other apple varieties. The tree is relatively easy to grow and crops heavily, with a mid-season ripening. It was named as one the top 24 apple varieties by members of the of Seattle tree fruit society. With our Liberty trees, thinning the young fruits has been a must to allow the apples to reach good size at maturity.
