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.

Cold Hardy to USDA Zone: 4

Mature Height: 11' (Dwarf)

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: September

Pollination: Needs a Pollinizer

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • In your description of “Aggressive thinning,” do you mean pruning branches removing fruit? Thanks you!

    Thinning early in the season refers to fruit production. Thinning out young fruit will decrease stress on the tree. 

  • I am looking for a dwarf apple tree that will pollinate with your honeycrisp. I prefer sweet apples. Any suggestions?

    The Ellison's Orange Apple is in Bloom Group is in Bloom Group 4 and will pollinate the Honeycrisp. It is a delicious and beautiful apple. A great choice!

  • 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!

Ellison’s Orange Apple - doing well

Received this on March 24. Our temps were already in the 90s. Unlike the Baby Crawford Peach that came with it, this one is doing well. I typically really like the quality of trees from Raintree as they have some of the best looking root systems I’ve seen through mail-order. They provide nice, solid, stock.

Ellison’s Orange Apple - Dwarf

The day my trees were delivered was our last night of cold weather. They were packaged very well. The next day I planted them in our garden area and within two days, we saw buds on the limbs and leaves popping out! Within a week, we saw multiple blooms. I removed the blooms to give them plant some time to develop its roots. I believe these trees will be beautiful as they fill in and grow a little taller. I can’t wait to get fruit! Great job, Raintree Nursery!

Georgeous tree

The tree was sent to me in the perfect state of just-about-to-come-alive dormancy. A beautiful, healthy-looking tree with lots of viable branches to choose from as I pruned. Obviously it will take a few years to know how it does in my backyard garden, but I'm very pleased with what they sent me.

apple tree from Raintree Nursery

Tree arrived in excellent shape, very well wrapped with lots of roots. I put it immediately in the ground after 30 minutes in water and today it looks very happy!
