Cameo Apple Tree

Buy Cameo Apple Trees for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Cameo Apple, botanically known as Malus domestica ‘Cameo’, is a sweet-tart dessert apple known for its crisp texture, juicy flesh, red striping, and good storage quality.

Cameo was discovered as a chance seedling in Washington State and is believed to have Red Delicious and Golden Delicious in its background. The fruit is usually medium to large with red to orange-red striping over a yellow-green background. When ripe, Cameo apples are crisp, juicy, aromatic, and pleasantly sweet with a mild tart finish.

This apple is good for fresh eating, slicing, salads, baking, sauces, desserts, and backyard recipes. Cameo is especially appreciated by customers who like a crisp apple with balanced sweetness and a familiar dessert-apple flavor.

Cameo Apple Trees should be planted with realistic expectations in warm Southern climates. This is not one of the most dependable low-chill apple choices for North Florida. Fruit production may vary depending on winter chill, bloom timing, late freezes, disease pressure, and pollination.

Like most apple trees, Cameo needs full sun, well-drained soil, good air movement, regular pruning, fruit thinning when needed, and a compatible apple variety nearby for pollination. It should not be planted as a stand-alone apple tree if the goal is dependable fruit production.
