Newton Pippin Apple is a fruit producing deciduous tree that is known for its production of high quality late season fruit that ripens in fall. The green-yellow apples often russet and are firm and crisp with a mildly grained flesh that needs to be in cold storage for 1-2 months to bring out its best flavor. Excellent when used as a cider or culinary fruit, though not appetizing when fresh from the tree. Fruits best with full sun and moist well-drained soils. Newton Pippin is self-pollinizing, though it needs hot summer and autumns for best fruiting.
May also be sold as 'Albemarle Pippin'.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: High Maintenance. Water Regularly. Potential issues include apple scab, cedar apple rust, fire blight, leaf spot and and powdery mildew. Possible pests are aphids, maggots, boreres, and spider mites.

Ask the provider the rootstock classification for estimated size. Dwarf stock is easier to maintain and produces fruit at an earlier age.
