McIntosh Apple Tree – Malus Domestica 'McIntosh' A Classic Sweet-Tart Apple with Cold-Hardy Resilience The McIntosh Apple Tree (Malus domestica 'McIntosh') is a beloved heirloom variety known for its tender, aromatic white flesh and perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.

It blooms in early spring with delicate white flowers that attract birds, bees, and butterflies, and ripens from September to October with reliable and heavy crop yields.
