A hardy and delicious apple cross!
The Hazen apple resulted from a cross of the Duchess and Starking Delicious variety. The name “Hazen” was given to commemorate both the town of Hazen (which is near Mandan where the seedling originated) and the late Dean Arlon G. Hazen of the College of Agriculture and Director of the North Dakota Experiment Station while this cultivar was under test as a selection.
The Hazen apple tree is an annual bearer of large fruit with dark red skin, and yellow-green flesh. The apples are juicy, with a mild, sweetness. Come September, expect a nice crop of apples ideal for fresh eating, cooking, and baking.
This cold-hardy apple tree does well in cold climates. It is also resistant to fire blight and does well with little to no spraying.
