Malus domestica 'Belmac'

A new, productive, all-purpose Canadian cultivar that combines flavor and keeping ability with cold and disease resistance. The sweet, medium-to-large, deep red apples ripen in late September or early October and keep three months or more. A delicious, sweet/tart MacIntosh flavor suggests its parent, Spartan. It was bred by Dr. Shahrokh Khanizadeh in Quebec and introduced in 1996. Offered under agreement with Ag. Canada, Quebec. Includes $1.20 royalty per tree.

Belmac resists scab, mildew, and cedar apple rust, thrives in eastern Canada, and has proven a winner in western Washington.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Hi, I am hoping to pollinate a belmac with a freedom but cant find bloom times for freedom as specific to your chart. I see general " middle season" bloom. Will these two work for each other? Thanks!

    Yes, they are both bloom group 3 and will cross pollinate. In the future, seaching the apple's name and "bloom group" usually yields a good result. The exact month trees bloom is dependant on your region, but they will always bloom in relation to each other based on thier bloom groups.

  • How wide is the mini dwarf and dwarf apple trees?

    They get about as wide as they get tall. 6' for the mini-dwarf and 12-14' for the semi-dwarf.

  • Do I need to plant this tree along with a different tree type of the same bloom time?

    The same OR adjacent bloom time per the chart in the Apple Growing Guide.
