Golden Nugget Apple Bareroot
History:Ā Golden Nugget was created more or less by accident when Golden Russet and Cox's Orange Pippin were crossedĀ at the Kentville Agricultural Station in Nova Scotia in 1932. Despite being an accident, once researchers realized how flavourful this variety was they continued to raise it and eventually released it in 1964. Although a delicious apple, its small size prevented it from attaining true commercial success.
Why We Grow It:Ā It is prized for its incredible flavour which is super sweet and tangy like a pineapple. Along with being great for fresh eating, it is also suited for cider. The tree itself boasts decent disease resistance.
