“Initial” is a variety of apple that bears large sized fruit in late summer. The fruit are red with an orange blush and have flesh that is crisp, crunchy, sweet, and great for eating fresh. This deciduous tree typically grows to 2.4 m tall and the same wide, though can be contained with trimming. This variety is self-pollinating and so does not require another apple variety planted close by to produce fruit. Best results are achieved with this tree when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is commonly planted for fruit production, added to a mixed planting, or maintained in a courtyard garden.
