Liberty Apple (Malus domestica ‘Liberty’)

The Liberty apple tree is a low-maintenance, disease-resistant apple variety known for its crisp, sweet-tart fruit, making it a popular choice for home gardeners. High resistance to major apple diseases, including apple scab, fire blight, cedar apple rust, and powdery mildew. Liberty apples are excellent for fresh eating, baking, juicing, and making applesauce. Apple trees require cross-pollination from a different apple variety nearby to produce fruit.
