If you like Crispin and Goldrush, you’ll love the bright juicy sweetness of Heliodor! Another gem from the Czech Republic, Heliodor translates to ‘gift from the sun’ and is impressively resistant to Apple Scab and Powdery Mildew as well as delectable. These bright yellow fruit blush orange with the sun, their light yellow flesh melding sugar & tart with an incredible crunch. A fabulous storage apple, Heliodor’s flavor arrives 2 weeks after harvest and continues to build, storing up to 4 months in the cellar.

Our Organic Heliodor 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 Dwarf Apple varieties are grafted onto dwarfing apple rootstock Geneva 41, making them easier to pick, prune and maintain than standard sized trees. Cold hardy as well as resistant to Fireblight, Phytophthora and replant disease, Geneva 41 bears fruit in just a few years. Most Apple varieties will grow between 6 and 10 feet tall at maturity, requiring full support from staking or trellising throughout their lifespan. The reduced tree size allows trees to be spaced 4 to 6 feet apart if planted in a row, making Apple varieties grafted onto Geneva 41 good candidates for Espalier or other trellis systems.

Heliodor needs another Apple variety nearby for Pollination! All of the Apples we offer are compatible pollination partners.
