Description:The Scarlet Spur Apple Tree is a modern variety that is notable for its vibrant red fruit and upright, spur-type growth habit, which facilitates dense planting and easy harvesting. This variety is particularly valued for its adaptability to various climates, showing good resistance to both cold and heat. The tree produces fruit consistently and is known for its vigorous early growth, reaching full production quickly.
Fruit: The apples are medium-sized with a deep red skin that is smooth and glossy, making them visually appealing. The flesh is firm, juicy, and sweet with a slight tartness, ideal for fresh eating, baking, and cooking. The fruit also shows excellent resistance to bruising, enhancing its commercial viability.
Harvest: Harvest occurs from mid to late September, with fruits maturing uniformly, facilitating streamlined picking processes. Scarlet Spur apples are known for their long harvest window, which provides flexibility in marketing and sales.
Pollination: This variety benefits from cross-pollination with other apple varieties such as Jonathan, Golden Delicious, and Empire for optimal fruit set and quality.
Spacing: Recommended spacing for Scarlet Spur apple trees is about 3 meters between semi-dwarf trees and 2 meters between dwarf trees. This close spacing is feasible due to the trees upright growth habit, allowing for efficient space utilization in commercial orchards. Mature semi-dwarf trees can grow up to 3 meters in height, while dwarf trees typically reach about 2 meters.
Good to know: The Scarlet Spur Apple Tree is resistant to many common apple diseases, including scab and mildew, which reduces the need for chemical treatments and appeals to eco-conscious growers and consumers. The production efficiency of the tree and the long shelf life of the fruit and transport resilience make it a favored choice among commercial orchardists.

MM 9 (Dwarf)
M 9 is a dwarf rootstock suitable for high-density planting. It is resistant to the crown rot disease and moderately sensitive to the fire blight and wooly aphid. It is resistant to the illness of the tree tree and mildly susceptible to the blight of flames and wooly aphid. Throughout cultivation, it requires support systems. It should not be grafted on spur-type varieties such as Scarlett Spur, Redchief and Starkspur Golden. For the field, it should be recommended without limiting watering. It is moderately resistant to calcareous and heavy-textured soils. High crop quality, early fruit bearing and elevated efficiency out of a unit region within a brief span of moment are the most advantageous features M 9 offers to the plants.
MM 106 (Middle size)
It is a semi-dwarf rootstock, resistant to wooly aphid and is highly sensitive to disease of crown rot. For heavy-textured and argillaceous soils, it should certainly not be suggested. It has a closer and heavier root structure than rootstocks M9 and M26. Although it is more resistant to the climate than rootstocks M9 and MM 26, it should be chosen for frequent watering plants.For the gardens where MM 106 is grown, support devices are not needed. Within three or four years after planting, it becomes commercially profitable.
MM 111 (Large)
It is a semi-dwarf rootstock bigger than M106 and smaller than standard seedling rootstock. It is resistant to the illness of crown rot, wooly aphid and heavy-textured, argillaceous, calcareous plants with a pH scale above 7. Depending on the circumstances of care, it becomes commercially profitable within four or five years. When early flowering is desired, M 9 may be recommended as the rootstock between the system in some cases. When grafted on spur form and low strength varieties, it provides stronger outcomes.
