Belmac Apple Tree
Glossy cardinal-red fruit ripens about one week after McIntosh, but is distinguished by its unusually firm, slow-browning white flesh and a richer, more balanced sweet-tart flavour that holds up especially well in fresh eating and baking. Bred in Canada by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, it stands out for combining reliable annual cropping with strong genetic resistance to apple scab and cedar-apple rust, making it especially well suited to low-spray northern orchards.
