(Semi-dwarf) A product of the University of Minnesota fruit breeding program,Zestar!® is a breathrough in taste and hardiness for the home fruit grower. Its an early blooming, early maturing Apple that can be picked in mid to late August and its high sugar contest and juiciness mixed with tart flavor will have you drooling from your first bite! Zestar!® features medium sized fruit that is mostly red against a yellowish-skinned background and will store very well for a few weeks after picking. While it may store well you might not ever test this feature out at home because it is the epitome of backyard eating pleasure, so sweet and tasty right off the tree or freshly used for that nights dessert, you might eat them all up before you have the chance to test its storage ability!
