Hailing from the Czech Republic, Crimson Gold is fondly known as ‘Svatava,’ named for the river flowing between Germany and the Czech Republic. Once in the United States, Svatava was renamed Crimson Gold to celebrate its luminous glow. Crimson Gold has become as famous for its excellent resistance to Apple Scab disease as for its ability to hold in ideal storage for 6 to 8 months. Its unique aromatic sweetness and bright tart resonates with every crisp juicy bite.

Our Organic Crimson Gold Semi-Dwarf Apple Trees are bareroot nursery stock, and are graded to a minimum of 30” tall when Fall-dug from the nursery. All of our Organic Semi-Dwarf Apple varieties are grafted onto semi-dwarf Geneva apple rootstocks, making them easier to pick, prune and maintain than standard sized trees. Proven to be cold hardy, as well as resistant to Fireblight, Phytophthora and replant disease, Geneva semi-dwarf rootstocks induce fruit bearing in just a few years. Keeping most Apple varieties to between 10 and 12 feet tall at maturity, our semi-dwarf Apple trees will usually require support from staking or trellising throughout their lifespan. The reduced tree size allows trees to be spaced 8 to 15 feet apart if planted in a row.

And Friends, several Fruition tree varieties & rootstocks are patented, including the rootstock this variety is grafted onto — to learn more hop in here.
