William's Pride Apple
An early-season dessert apple that is both cold hardy and disease resistant. Also known as Co-op 23.
This tree is perfect for the backyard or any type of organic production: It is vigorous, spreading, and sturdy, with good branch angles. Cold hardy to zone 4, William's Pride is also resistant to fireblight, powdery mildew, and cedar-apple rust, and field immune to scab. This is a delicious and easy-to-grow early-season apple, and it also has an extended bloom (early through to late-mid), making it a great pollenizer.
The leaves do get damaged by Japanese Beetles though.
Estimated bloom in Southwest Iowa: April 19
Estimated ripening in Southwest Iowa: TBD
