Japanese Gunma Honey Apple Tree – Malus domestica Bare Root | 32 Inches Tall | Sweet Late-Season Apple

Grow one of Japan’s sweetest apple varieties with this live Japanese Gunma Honey Apple Tree, shipped bare root and ready for planting. Known as 群馬名月（めいげつ）, this premium Japanese apple is prized for its exceptionally sweet flavor, rich aroma, and juicy crisp texture. Often called a “Honey Apple” or “Peach Apple” due to its fragrant sweetness and refreshing juicy flesh, Gunma Honey apples ripen about four weeks after Toki apples, extending the harvest season with delicious late-season fruit. The attractive apples develop beautiful golden-yellow skin with occasional blush and are excellent for fresh eating, desserts, and specialty fruit collections.

This tree is grafted on M7 rootstock for manageable semi-dwarf growth, making it ideal for backyard orchards and home gardens. You will receive a healthy live bare root tree approximately 32 inches tall with a trunk size of about 3/8 inch, shipped with secure packaging for safe arrival.
