They can be 10–20 centimetres (4–8 inches) in length and 3.5–6.5 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 – 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) in width. Abiu may have several flowering periods a year, with potential for both flowers and fruit on the tree at one time. The development time from flower to ripe fruit is about 3 months. [1] The main crop season varies by climate.
Although the mean temperature for June and July is only 73 °F and 76 °F (23 °C and 24 °C) it is not uncommon for the temperature to reach 100 °F (38 °C) at least three concurrent days each week in these months, as it did in 1904 during the World Fair where the temperature in St. Louis, Missouri was 103 °F (39 °C).
Malus (/ ˈ m eɪ l ə s / [3] or / ˈ m æ l ə s /) is a genus of about 32–57 species [4] of small deciduous trees or shrubs in the family Rosaceae, including the domesticated orchard apple, crab apples (sometimes known in North America as crabapples) and wild apples. The genus is native to the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere.
The wild apple is a deciduous small to medium-sized tree, but can also grow into a multi-stemmed bush. It can live 80–100 years and grow up to 14 metres (46 feet) tall with trunk diameters of usually 23–45 centimetres (9– 17 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches), although diameters exceeding 90 cm (35 in) have been recorded.

Geobotanically, Missouri belongs to the North American Atlantic region, and spans all three floristic provinces that make up the region: the state transitions from the deciduous forest of the Appalachian province to the grasslands of the North American Prairies province in the west and northwest, and the northward extension of the Mississippi embayment places the bootheel in the Atlantic and ...
It is cold hardy to UK zone 4 and the United States Department of Agriculture's zones 4–8, and is not frost tender. It blossoms in June, and the seeds ripen from October to November. [3] Flowers appear in corymbs. [2] The fruit is oval, measuring about 15 by 8 millimetres (5 ⁄ 8 by 3 ⁄ 8 in). It ripens in mid autumn and usually blets on ...
The Ben Davis was crossbred with the 'McIntosh' to create the Cortland, which has been a very successful pie apple.. Similar cultivars known as Gano or Black Ben Davis (a.k.a. Black Ben) appeared in parts of the American South (notably Arkansas and Virginia) in the 1880s.
It ripens from September to October, [3] and so is commonly available in autumn in farmers markets in the Northeast. Each apple contains 12.87% sugar that ferments to 6% alcohol in hard cider production. [4] Typical size: width 77-89 mm, height 59-76 mm, stalk 12-26 mm. [5] [6] [7] Core closed; Eye medium closed
