Bare Root Bevan's Favorite Apple Tree (Malus cv.)
Bare Root Bevan's Favorite Apple Tree (Malus cv.), Semi-dwarf, deciduous fruit tree Small to medium-sized apples with flattened ends; yellow skin with some red striping; and crisp, firm, juicy flesh; early to mid-season ripening period (typically late June/early July).Also called Early Bevans and Striped June in reference to its earlier ripening period, this apple was discovered near Salem, New Jersey, around 1842. Like most early summer varieties, Bevan's Favorite does not keep for long and is best when picked at its prime and eaten fresh or used in desserts and for baking and frying. Apple historian Lee Calhoun returned this old variety to commerce after finding a single tree on the farm of E. Lloyd Curl in Alamance County, North Carolina, in 1985.This tree will ship bare root. One year grafted M111 is approximately 4-5' tall.
