Malus ‘Haralred’
Zone: 3B
Size: 12-15’ H x 10-14’ W
‘Haralred®’ is a red-fruited mutation of ‘Harlason’ that was discovered at an orchard in LaCrescent, MN. ‘Honeycrisp’ works well as a pollinator, but ‘Haralson’ should be avoided. ‘Haralred®’ blooms late, typically around mid-May. Rich, red, round fruits mature in early October. Tart fruits are delicious fresh, cooked or baked, making especially beautiful pies. They work less well for sauces, holding their shapes a bit too well. ‘Haralred®’ has good Fire Blight resistance. This hardy variety appeals to wildlife, making it a good choice for up at the cabin.
