Released in 1922 by the University of Minnesota, Haralson is one of those apples that will be around for a long time due to its interest amongst cold climate growers. Its parentage includes Malinda and Wealthy (most likely), and the tree tends to develop a strong central leader with wide-angled scaffold limbs. Although we think this is certainly a good apple, our close friends Kate Wilburn and Shane Sator consider it to be their absolute favorite. Haralson along with Dolgo crab are the parents of one of our favorites, Kerr. A medium-large sized apple, that can also be used for fresh eating, cooking and pies. Solid zone 3 apple.

These trees are grafted onto M7 semi-dwarf rootstock and are currently 2-3 ft. tall.
