Milwaukee Apple Scionwood
History:Ā Milwaukee was discovered around 1890 as a chance seedling growing on the farm of George Jeffrey is Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Named for its city of origin, it was first grown commercially around 1899 but is now considered rare today. DNA testing has shown that it is a seedling of Duchess, imparting excellent cold hardiness on this variety.
Why We Grow It:Ā Milwaukee produces a large, red apple that is crisp, juicy, with a tart flavour that is a bit more intense than most people like for fresh eating. It instead shines when used for cooking, pies, and cider. For those looking an nice multi-purpose apple that is quite cold hardy, this is an excellent option!
