Liberty Apple

Freedom from disease. Flavor without compromise.

Liberty is the ultimate low-maintenance dessert apple—vigorous, productive, and exceptionally disease-resistant. Bred in New York and released in 1972, this modern classic was named to celebrate its “liberation” from common orchard ailments. It shrugs off scab, cedar-apple rust, fireblight, and powdery mildew, making it a top choice for organic growers and first-time orchardists alike.

The fruit is large and McIntosh-style, with a deep red blush over golden skin. Bite into Liberty and you’ll get a crisp, juicy burst of sweet-tart flavor with aromatic complexity—perfect for fresh eating or blending into cider (°Brix 12). It ripens midseason and rewards attentive picking: harvest promptly and in stages to capture peak texture and taste. Early-picked fruit stores well for up to two months, with flavor deepening over time.

Whether you’re planting your first tree or expanding a resilient orchard, Liberty delivers beauty, bounty, and peace of mind.
