Perfect for the home grower, Liberty apple trees will become one of your favorite homegrown, orchard producers. It is incredibly hardy, growing in zones 4 to 7. When mature, the tree will reach 20-25 ft. in height and boast a serene, round canopy. You can look forward to enjoying fresh, sweet Liberty apples from your own backyard. This tree is a deep purplish red color when ripe and has a yellowish hue when harvested in the early Summer.

Invest in a Liberty apple tree and have your own supply of promise apples every year.

How to Plant
STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.
