Apple Tree ‘September Sentinel’
FamilyRosaceae
Malus domestica 'September Sentinel' is a hardy late-season apple tree particularly valued for its winter hardiness and its ability to produce quality fruit even in colder climates, such as those in Quebec. It develops medium to large apples with deep red skin and yellow flecks, with white, firm, juicy flesh that is delightfully balanced between sweet and tart, perfect for fresh eating, baking, pies, and homemade juices. This cultivar is distinguished by a spring white bloom that attracts bees and pollinators, adding landscape appeal to the garden. With a rounded and vigorous habit, 'September Sentinel' integrates well into residential orchards, edible gardens, or sunny landscape plantings. Easy to grow in full sun in well-drained soil, it combines hardiness, reliable yield, and high-quality fruit with a later maturity, ideal for extending the harvest season.
