Malus ‘Pristine’- Disease-resistant Apple

Ripening in Summer, this is the earliest of the disease-resistant varieties developed by the cooperative breeding program of the Indiana, Illinois, and New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Stations, and one of the earliest to ripen of any summer apple, disease-resistant or not. Sweet and, for a summer apple,  quite crisp and a good keeper. Despite its good keeping quality, it really is best when eaten fresh. Good for eating, baking, sauce, and juice.
