All about Sundance apple trees

Sundance is a high-quality late-season disease-resistant apple, aimed at commercial growers and backyard orchardists.

The flesh is very crisp and snaps cleanly, and the flavor is initially sharp and tangy, but sweetens and becomes more complex in storage.

As well as great flavor, Sundance has excellent disease-resistance.

Please note that Sundance is a trademarked and patented variety, and purchasers agree not to propagate or distribute the trees. In addition, customer address details may be made available to the licence holder if requested.

How to grow

Sundance is best grown in warmer zones because it needs a long growing period to produce the best flavors. It has a relatively low chill requirement too.

The apples will ripen over a period on the tree.

History

Sundance was developed in the 1960s by the PRI co-operative of Purdue, Rutgers, and Illinois universities. It is widely-known by its research designation of "Co-op 29".
