Malus 'Zestar!'®

Malus ‘Zestar!’® (Zestar!® Apple)

A semi-dwarf apple tree developed by the University of Minnesota, ‘Zestar!’® is prized for its exceptional taste and hardiness. Early blooming and early maturing, it produces medium-sized fruit with mostly red skin over a yellow background. Crisp, juicy, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tart, these apples are ideal for fresh eating or desserts and can store for several weeks, though they’re so delicious you may eat them right off the tree. Perfect for home orchards seeking early-season flavor and reliability.
