QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Is the rubinette resistant to cedar-apple rust?

    No, it is a Golden Delicious hybrid with no real disease resistance bred into it.

  • My Rubinette is over 5 years since plalnting. It blooms but fails to produce lateral limbs and many flowers and never fruit or the few fruit falls early. It is discouraging . Is this the nature of this apple tree ? SHould I invest in another?

    It sounds like your tree needs some pruning to encourage lateral branching and fruit spur development. Contact our horticulturist thorugh our Help Center for more detailed information.

  • Would this be a good pollinator for Honeycrisp?

    As a mid season bloomer, yes!
