Malus domestica 'William's Pride'

Highly rated for flavor, keeping quality and disease resistance. It ripens in early August and is one of the best of the early apples. The medium-sized, red fruit has a sweet, rich, spicy flavor.

The tree is very productive with strong, well-angled branches. Immune to apple scab and resistant to mildew, cedar rust and fireblight, it's also an early season bloomer with unusually long-lasting blossoms.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • Is the Early Pink Lady a good pollinator for William's Pride?

    No, they are too far apart in bloom time. You can scroll down to the pollination chart here, and remember plants in the same bloom group will pollinate, as well as varieties in the directly adjacent bloom groups. 

  • Would a mini dwarf William’s Pride grow well in a pot? If so, what size?

    It can yes, if the container is large enough. A half wine barrel, or larger, will be enough.

  • Would a Liberty Apple be a good pollinator choice for a William's Pride?

    Yes, they will do well together.

  • I just ordered a williams pride mini dwarf. I cant find anywhere that says its bare root or in a pot..??

    It is bare root.

  • Will this cross pollinate Dorsett Golden Apples as they are also an early bloomer and summer Apple?

    Yes, they cross pollinate fine, though William's Pride will not thrive in low chill areas.

  • Will this apple tree grow well in North Texas? Can you recommend the best fruit trees to grow in North Texas?

    Texas is too hot for most apples. Mulberries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, some grapes, some cherries, and most plum hybrids all do well in Texas.

  • Will this tree cross pollinate with Honey Crisp?

    No, they are too far apart in bloom times.

  • Hello, what is the recommended spacing for mini dwarf apple trees? Would 6-8’ be sufficient? I saw the height in the description, but no mention of how wide the trees will grow. Thank you!

    Roughly 6 by 6 for width and spacing!

  • How much space does a mini-dwarf apple tree need? I see they can get to be 6' tall, but what is the reach of the branch and root system?

    6' by 6' by 6' are the common dimsensions for a mini dwarf. Your own little apple cube!

  • what does mini dwarf means?

    Mini dwarf means a tree roughly 30% of standard vigor.

Very solid apple tree

Made it all the way to South Georgia without issue. I am excited to grow one of these disease resistant apples since fireblight can be rampant with our heat and humidity. Rain tree is the only place I could find this apple variety.

"William's Pride" in South-East PA, zone 7A.

I planted "William's Pride" in 2022. The tree is vigorous and blooms abundantly, as advertised in description, the bloom period is early but noticeably long and stretched in time. It bloomed on the same year when planted, but there were no fruits set, as well as on the next year 2023. This season (2024) was much better, bloom time of "William's" overlapped well with its neighbor apple tree "Chehalis" and with wild crabapples in the woods around my property, therefore the fruit set was abundant and needed finning. The color of ripe apples is impressive, ranges from pink to dark burgundy. The taste is great too, resembles some famous heirloom applies verities, different from what we see on a supermarket shelve today. The resistance to diseases is excellent, as advertised. As mentioned in description of this variety, it naturally forms an optimal angle between branches, which maximize the strength of branch/limb structure.
