Overview & Description

Gemini Apple (Malus x ‘Jefcoutts’) is a medium-sized, red apple with attractive yellow streaks, prized for its crisp, sweet, and juicy white flesh that ripens in late summer. This versatile apple is great for fresh eating or cooking and stores well into the new year, offering extended enjoyment of its excellent flavour. Its balanced, sweet-tart taste makes it a favourite for home orchards and edible landscapes.

Growth & Size

This variety exhibits a rounded, upright, spreading growth habit. It is a moderate-growing tree, typically reaching a mature size of about 16 feet in height with a spread of 13 feet.

Additional Notes

It blooms in spring with white to pink flowers. Hardy to Zone 2-3, it requires another apple variety within 150 meters (500 feet) for cross-pollination. Prefers moist, well-drained soil. An outstanding choice for home orchards, edible landscapes, and cold-climate gardens where crisp, sweet, juicy apples for fresh eating and cooking, with excellent storage life, are desired.
