Mutsu Apple Tree

Buy Mutsu Apple Trees for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Mutsu Apple, also known as Crispin Apple, botanically known as Malus domestica ‘Mutsu’, is a large greenish-yellow apple variety known for its crisp texture, juicy flesh, and sweet-tart flavor.

Mutsu originated in Japan as a cross between Golden Delicious and Indo. The fruit is usually large to very large, with green to yellow-green skin that may turn more golden as it ripens. The flavor is sweet, refreshing, and slightly tart, making it a good apple for fresh eating, baking, cooking, drying, cider, and other kitchen uses.

This apple is a nice option for customers who want a large, crisp apple with good flavor and storage ability. Mutsu is often appreciated by home orchard growers because it can be used both as a fresh-eating apple and as a cooking apple. When baked, it can hold its shape better than some softer apple varieties.

Mutsu is a triploid apple, which means it needs a compatible apple variety nearby for pollination, but it is not a good pollinator for other apple trees. For best fruit set, customers should plant it with another compatible diploid apple variety that blooms around the same time.

Customers searching for apple trees near me, Mutsu Apple trees for sale, Crispin Apple trees, green apple trees, Japanese apple trees, or fruit trees for sale near DeFuniak Springs, FL may appreciate this variety for its large fruit, crisp texture, and fresh-eating and cooking value.
