It’s no mistake that since the early 1800’s when John Mcintosh stumbled upon a chance wild seedling that bore “the finest fruit since time immemorial”, that it would become one the world’s best selling apples. Crispy, sweet but slightly tart, and exceedingly refreshing. One of our all time favorite apples, especially when grown in the Bitterroot, and especially from Al and Mary’s Frost Top Orchard in Corvallis. Go buy apples from them in the meantime! One of the most aromatic apples. But we digress, in the words of Horticulturist William Tyrrell Macoun, McIntosh “needs no words of praise”. Hardy to -40F.

These trees are grafted onto M7 semi-dwarf rootstock, which is also only hardy to about -40F.
