MALUS FRUIT - LIBERTY

Best grown in deep, loamy, moderately fertile, slightly acidic, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Features white blossoms which appear in spring and are followed by small to medium-sized, red-over-green, McIntosh-type apples which ripen in early September (USDA Zone 5). Liberty is pruned and grown primarily with a view toward producing quality fruit, and its ornamental features are usually considered secondary. It should be grouped in a sunny location with other apple varieties.
