Malus domestica 'Ellison's Orange'

Still a favorite of English organic growers because of its outstanding flavor, heavy cropping and resistance to scab. The sweet/tart, anise-like, crisp, juicy and aromatic flavor make it a great choice for the organic orchard. Bred as a Cox's Orange Pippin X Calville Blanc in Lincolnshire, England about 1904. It has a soft orange background with unusual red stripes.

Somewhat prone to biennial bearing; thin early heavy crops completely to avoid the subsequent exhaustion this tree can experience. A little extra care goes a long way! Ripens early-midseason.

USDA Zone: 4-9

Mature Height: 11' (Dwarf)

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • Description states to thin early heavy crops completely to avoid exhaustion. Can you give further information? Early in the season, early in the growing life of the tree?

    Early in the life of the tree, the first 3-5 years after planting, heavy cropping will damage the ability for the root system to establish and "runt out" the plant. Aggressive thinning is suggested to get the most out of your tree over it's lifespan. As the tree gets older you can thin less aggressively, but to maintain consistent crops annual thinning is still suggested.

  • What is the Blooming Time ?

    This apple is a bloom group 4 - check out our Apple Growing Guide for more information on apple tree pollination and a bloom time chart!

Purchased our second ellison s orange tree in the spring of 2020, arrived healthy. Couldn t be more be pleased with the growth in its first season. These are the best apples I have ever tasted, highly aromatic and flavorful. Has the tendency of alternate bearing but that can be curbed by thinning the fruit.
