Yellow Ingestrie Apple Trees

Malus domestica Yellow Ingestrie - Early-Mid Season

Description of Yellow Ingestrie Trees & Fruit:
A small apple with a rich, sweet-sour flavour and firm flesh. The skin is pale green, turning more yellow and developing a flush of earthy orange-yellow when it ripens.
It is not a very vigorous tree, so while it will take a bit longer to reach full size, it will also need less pruning than most other apple trees. The Yellow Ingestrie tree also has excellent blossom.

Your trees are in pollination Group C.
This means that they will cross-pollinate with other apple trees in pollination Groups B, C and D.
