Liberty Apple

The Liberty apple tree is a fast-growing grafted apple tree that is probably the most widely planted standard-size apple tree for deer. This tree has excellent disease resistance and produces heavy crops of apples and does so annually. The Liberty apple tree is a vigorous, fast-growing apple tree immune to most common diseases, including apple scab and cedar apple rust—the fruit from Liberty Apple drops from September through October in the NorthEast. The fruit texture is mealy with a good apple flavor, making it one that the deer go after when you only have teeth on the bottom in the front of your mouth. Liberty apple is a fruit they pick up and gobble down fast, preferred during their dropping period. This tree will reach a mature height of 20'+. Plant Hardiness Zone 4-8

RubyRush™ Apple

The RubyRush™ apple is a cross between two popular apple trees widely planted for wildlife Enterprise and Goldrush apple. This apple tree has excellent resistance to apple scab, FireBlight, and Cedar Apple rust in a no-spray situation. The fruit is crisp and great for fresh eating on the way to the stand or feeding wildlife as this fruit ripens and begins falling in October and continues into November here in Pennsylvania. RubyRush™ is vigorous and maybe too productive as it can go into bi-annual bearing if not thinned. However, I will take a disease-free apple falling at the right time (Oct/Nov) on my properties and as many as possible. RubyRush™ is suitable for plant hardiness zones 4b-7. Mature height will be 20'+—plant Hardiness zones map

Enterprise Apple

This apple is one of the best and most widely planted apple trees for wildlife. This grafted apple tree is vigorous and very productive, as it produces annually. In a no-spray situation, the enterprise apple tree is immune to apple scab and highly resistant to cedar-apple rust, Fireblight, and powdery mildew. This tree ripens at a perfect time during October and continues dropping apples into November in the Northeast. Here in central Pennsylvania, the peak of fruit dropping occurs in Mid to late October. I like the crisp, juicy apple flavor myself to eat out of hand, and the deer do too. Enterprise apple is a fast-growing tree with excellent disease resistance, making this a great apple tree to plant for deer. I would describe the Enterprise apple as a tree you don't plant one of you plant ten, but I like to hunt those first few weeks of November. This tree will have a mature height of 20'+  Plant Hardiness zones 4b-8.

GoldRush Apple

This grafted tree is one of the latest ripening apples.  GoldRush apple ripens in late October through mid-November, yet hang well and won’t be dropping much until you receive a hard freeze.  The start of dropping typically occurs in late November through the first weeks of December.  This tree has average disease resistance, is scab immune, and is susceptible to cedar apple rust. GoldRush produces abundant crops of quality, excellent tasting apples. This tree will reach a mature height of 20'+. Plant Hardiness zones 5-8.

Yates Apple

The Yates Apple Crab is a heavy, dependable annual producer with great-tasting 2-inch fruit and strong disease resistance. Despite its Southern roots, Yates has handled temperatures as low as -25°F and performs well in USDA Zones 4-8. Here in Pennsylvania, the fruit begins dropping in late November and continues through December, providing an excellent late-season food source for deer and other wildlife. The tree reaches 20+ feet at maturity and produces good crops without spraying.  Plant Hardiness zones 4-8

Winter Crabarina™ Crabapple

This grafted crabapple produces a 1 ¾” and has a flesh that remains very palatable at a time when food supplies are low. Winter Crabarina™ will offer amazing attraction whether you’re looking to do a little late season hunting or just help your deer herd through the tough winter months. This prolific tree has excellent resistance to common apple tree diseases, is very productive, and  a very late dropping crabapple with very heavy fruit loads. In a no spray situation I have seen excellent resistance or immunity to apple scab, cedar apple rust, fireblight and powdery mildew. The first picture is from December 5th, the second from January 21st, and the third one of the apple is from mid-February. As you can see, the flesh is still very intact even after many freeze/thaw cycles! This tree is very productive, fruits profusely on 1-year old wood, very vigorous and early producing. For a video to see what Winter Crabarina™ looked like the following year after these pictures click here. This tree will reach a mature height of 20'+. Plant Hardiness Zones 5-8

Arkansas Black Apple

Arkansas Black is a grafted, standard-size apple tree that produces abundant crops at a young age and offers outstanding disease resistance. In no-spray orchards, it has shown excellent resistance to apple scab, cedar apple rust, and fire blight, although powdery mildew may develop in areas with excessive moisture. The crisp, juicy apples ripen in late October and drop through November, with a few lingering into December. In Pennsylvania, the heaviest fruit drop occurs during the first three weeks of November, making Arkansas Black an excellent choice for both fresh eating and attracting deer during hunting season. This vigorous tree reaches over 20 feet at maturity and is hardy in USDA Zones 5–8.

Description

Apple Tree Package for Deer Hunting

The Apple Tree Package for Deer Hunting helps landowners attract and hold deer throughout the hunting season. We carefully selected disease-resistant apple varieties with staggered fruit drop times. As a result, your property provides a dependable food source from mid-September through January. Winter Crabarina is the last variety to drop, extending the food supply well into the late season.

Instead of planting one apple variety, you can plant several that ripen at different times. Consequently, deer have fresh fruit available for months instead of only a few weeks. This steady food source encourages deer to return as natural forage becomes scarce.

We chose every tree for dependable production, vigorous growth, and excellent disease resistance. In addition, each variety produces fruit that deer readily consume. Once established, these trees provide dependable crops for decades with proper care.

Why Choose the Apple Tree Package?

  • Carefully selected apple varieties for deer hunting
  • Fruit drop from mid-September through January
  • Includes the late-dropping Winter Crabarina variety
  • Disease-resistant trees for dependable annual crops
  • Excellent for wildlife orchards and hunting properties
  • Provides a long-lasting food source for deer
  • Produces healthy, vigorous trees

Where This Package Grows Best

This package performs exceptionally well in central Pennsylvania. It also grows well in central and northern Ohio, northern Indiana, southern Michigan, northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin, and Iowa. Furthermore, these varieties thrive in similar climates across the Midwest and Northeast.

Why Plant Several Apple Varieties?

Different apple trees drop fruit at different times. Therefore, planting several varieties extends the food supply throughout the fall and winter. Early varieties begin feeding deer in September, while later varieties continue through the rut and into January.

This extended fruit drop helps keep deer on your property during the months that matter most. Whether you’re planting your first wildlife orchard or expanding an existing one, the Apple Tree Package for Deer Hunting gives you a proven mix of apple trees that will benefit wildlife and your family for years to come.
