Victoria Limbertwig to replace Purple Robe Locust

The Purple Robe Locust in the front yard died a couple of years ago. We submitted a request to the HOA to plant a fruit tree instead, and they approved!  Now 7429 has the only front yard fruit tree in the neighborhood.  Yippee!  It needs a pollinator so we planted a Wealthy apple tree in a yard around the corner. 

The Limbertwig was last pruned in March 2013, along with the peach, two apples (backyard), and sour cherry in the backyard.  We will continue to prune and manage the other pollinator. 



Purple skin with white dots and crisp yellow flesh. Very juicy and rich in flavor, excellent quality. This is a great dessert apple that stores well. Ripens very late-- usually October in most locations. Considered one of the best Limbertwigs.
