Gemini Apple

Gemini Apple produces crisp, juicy apples with balanced sweetness and red skin streaked with pale yellow. The medium-sized fruit ripens in late August and stores well, giving you apples to enjoy fresh or use in cooking and baking.

Plant Gemini in full sun as a fruiting accent, shade tree or addition to a home orchard. White spring blossoms are followed by green summer foliage and yellow fall colour. Another apple tree is required for pollination, so plan space for a pollination partner alongside its upright, spreading canopy.
