A delicious, early-season apple for gardeners up North!
The Yellow Transparent Apple tree is an antique variety that originated from Russia in 1870. It’s named after the pale-yellow skin of the fruit that matched the flesh. These early-ripening apples are crisp, light and sweet.
As an heirloom, this apple tree is easy to grow. It is cold-hardy for all our gardeners up north and has shown disease resistance to scab. Enjoy these delightful yellow apples when they ripen in July through August.

My yellow Transparent tree is growing and has put out a lot of leaves this spring I think it will do well this year. These apples are so good in early summer. My parents had this tree and we enjoyed fried apples at breakfast which were really yummy!

Purchased the tree last year, planted it according to instructions provided. This spring despite the late frost, our tree is thriving. We are excited to see it grow. Now, if we could just figure out how to keep the deer away.
Kathy Aubrey –
Tart and smooth, cooks with little water because the skin causes the sauce to thicken. Eat with warm biscuits for a treat you will never forget.
Diane Johnson –
My Yellow Transparent Apple is in its second summer on my property, and is healthy and happy, growing well. It was a fairly small tree, but in excellent condition, when it arrived, so it hasn’t yet bloomed, but that is to be expected. My experience with Stark was excellent, and I would recommend both the company and this product.
