The Winesap Apple Tree (Malus domestica ‘Winesap’) is one of the oldest and most respected apple varieties in North America, prized for its exceptional disease resistance, late-season harvest, and distinctive tart, wine-like flavor. This time-tested heirloom apple has been grown for generations as a premier winter keeper, storing beautifully for months while its flavor deepens and mellows in storage.

Winesap apples are deep, glossy red, often overlaid with reddish-purple striping, and feature firm, crisp flesh that holds up perfectly for fresh eating, baking, cooking, cider, and juice. Ripening in late October through November, Winesap extends the apple season well into fall. With a high chill requirement of ~800 hours, it is best suited for regions with colder winters and performs exceptionally well when planted alongside a compatible pollinator such as Arkansas Black Apple.

With proper care and establishment, Winesap Apple Trees can begin producing fruit in just 2–3 years, offering reliable harvests and long-term performance for home orchards, heritage apple plantings, and cold-climate growers. For those seeking a bold-flavored, late-ripening heirloom apple tree with proven durability and storage potential, Winesap remains an iconic choice.
