Season of Use: Sept.-Jan.
 

Use: Fresh eating, sauce, baking, pie, and freezing
 

Characteristics: The McIntosh is medium sized, nearly solid bright red. Its flesh is juicy and aromatic, high quality for eating. It has a rich flavor, but soft when cooked. The original McIntosh apple tree was discovered in 1796 as a chance seedling in Dundas County, Ontario, Canada. Its parentage is unknown.
 

The tree is vigorous and broadly diverging. The crop is evenly distributed throughout the tree. The apples tend to drop early. This productive and moderately hardy variety is moderately resistant to fireblight and resistant to cedar-apple rust. However, it is susceptible to apple scab and bruises easily.
