Size/Age: 1-year seedling, 12-20 inches tall
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 4-8
These apple seedlings are grown from the seeds of select varieties known for their ability to be true to type, meaning once you plant these trees, you can start seeds from them in the future.
Antonovka are disease-resistant, adaptable trees that require minimal maintenance compared to grafted orchard varieties. They're ideal for creating future deer attractants on hunting properties where the exact fruit characteristics are less important than wildlife utility.
Fallen apples become a powerful deer magnet in late summer and fall, providing a sweet, high-energy food source just when deer are building fat reserves for winter. Strategic placement of these trees can create predictable feeding patterns for hunting success.
Benefits for Wildlife/Hunters:
Dropped apples create natural feeding sites in early hunting season
Deer will browse tender growth and buds throughout the year
Attracts other game species including turkey, bear, and grouse
Creates long-lasting, sustainable food sources with minimal maintenance
Planting Instructions: Plant in full sun for best fruit production. Space 20-25 feet apart. Avoid frost pockets and ensure good air circulation.
Care Requirements: Water regularly for the first year. Once established, apple seedlings are quite drought-tolerant. No pruning necessary for wildlife purposes.
Bulk Price: $15 each for 5+ trees
Shipping Notes: Ships bare-root during dormant season. Plant promptly upon arrival for best results.
