A lovely combination of tart and sweet, the Stayman winesap apple has been popular since the days of the pioneers. They are not only tasty but also long-lived after being harvested, lasting 6 months or more in the refrigerator. The rich, wine-like flavor works well for applesauce, pies, and cider, and they are delicious eaten fresh.
When planting these trees, be sure to include other apple varieties such as red or yellow delicious, Jonathan, or early harvest to ensure pollination.
