Alkemene Apple
Malus domestica 'Alkemene'
This Cox's Orange cross from Germany has become a favorite at the WSU Mt. Vernon fruit testing station for its many superior qualities. It has a wonderful flavor that combines sweet and tart flavors. It bears heavy crops of red-orange, conical fruit annually in September, and it has good resistance to scab. Since it has an upright growth habit, it fits in smaller gardens.
