Soil: It thrives in well-drained loamy soil with a pH level between 6 and 6.5. The soil should be rich in organic matter and nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

Mulch: Use mulch combined with straw, hay, or other organic material to keep the soil moist and provide nutrients as they decompose.

The McIntosh apple tree is a heritage variety grown across the northeastern US and Canada. This variety thrives in climates with cool summers and cold winters and achieves its best flavor in colder growing climates. The McIntosh is a reliable producer and is ready to harvest in September. The fruit has a bicolor red and green skin with a crisp and juicy white flesh. The sweet and tart flavor make it perfect for eating fresh, baking, dehydrating, making cider, apple butter and apple sauce too.

Plant in full sun and well-drained loamy and slightly acidic soil. The Mcintosh apple tree is not self-pollinating and requires cross-pollination. You will need to plant another variety of apple tree nearby in order to achieve fruit production. Some suggested pollinating partners are Fuji, Gala and Honeycrisp.
