The Liberty Apple Tree is a fast-growing, cold-hardy apple variety known for dependable production, strong disease resistance, and an extended fall fruit window.
Liberty begins ripening in late September, with fruit continuing to drop throughout October. That extended window makes it an excellent addition to wildlife orchards and food plot edges where the goal is simple: keep attractive food available throughout hunting season.
Late September through October fruit drop
Extended drop window provides a consistent fall food source
Highly attractive to whitetails and other wildlife
Strong natural resistance to several common apple diseases
Fast growing and cold hardy to Zone 3
Grafted for consistent variety characteristics
Excellent for wildlife orchards, food plot edges, and habitat plantings
Crisp, sweet-tart fruit is also great for fresh eating and cider
A productive wildlife orchard isn't about having every tree drop at the same time. It's about stacking varieties with different drop windows to keep food available as long as possible.
Liberty fills an important spot in that plan. Its late September through October drop bridges the gap between earlier soft mast varieties and trees producing deeper into the fall.
Pair Liberty with August, September, and November-producing varieties to build a more complete season-long food source.
Plant Liberty Apple in full sun and well-drained soil for the best growth and fruit production. Give trees adequate spacing for mature growth, airflow, and sunlight.
Protect young trees from deer browse and rubbing, control competing vegetation around the base, and provide adequate water during establishment.
October is when changing food sources can completely change how deer use a property. Having apples continue to hit the ground gives wildlife another reason to keep coming back.
With an extended drop window, fast growth, and strong disease resistance, Liberty is built to become a dependable piece of your long-term habitat plan.
Longer drop. Less maintenance. More habitat.
THIS IS YOUR LAND.
