R: M-111 H: 16’ W: 14’ The Baldwin apple is a bright red winter apple, very good quality originating in Massachussetts in 1784. It was for many years the most popular apple in New England. A harsh winter in 1934 wiped out most of the Baldwin apple orchards so its popularity was lost. Aside from cider making it was also known as an exceptionally good pie apple and due to its inherent hardness would maintain more crispness through the baking process than other apples would. Delicious cider base, and great for pies and eating fresh out of hand. Fruit medium to large, sometimes very large. Skin yellow, flushed orange, striped red. Flesh firm to coarse, yellowish; flavor sweet and crisp. Often a biennial bearer, but can be regulated with timely pruning and thinning. Pollenizer required: triploid.
