Light, Tangy Flavor in Just One Year

Why McIntosh Apple Trees?

Our McIntosh Apple Tree is famous for its fresh fruit, which boasts a light, tangy flavor and distinctive red skin. Plus, since this tree produces heavily and ripens early in the season, you’ll get fruit yearly and sooner than other varieites.

Enjoy your McIntosh Apples fresh or use them for baking and cooking in pies and sauces, or even apple cider. Not only will you get your fruit quickly, but you can also grow it organically. You won’t have to worry about spraying your trees with chemicals and pesticides. Just plant your tree and pick your fruit right off the branches!

Plus, because our McIntosh doesn’t have serious issues with pests or diseases, and boasts hardy strength, it’s easy to grow. You get healthful, strong growth from your McIntosh…with or without a green thumb.

Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better

Our McIntosh Apple Trees are more mature trees that have been trained to produce a branching structure. This requires an extra year of work for us, but the results you experienced will be dramatic.

Begin harvesting your McIntosh Apples as soon as the first season under ideal conditions – get your own McIntosh Apple Tree today!

Exactly as advertised

I was a bit skeptical ordering a tree through the mail…. its not that I don’t trust the vendor its that you never know how FedEx will handle the box. When it came it was very well packed and the tree looked very healthy despite spending 3 days in a box with out sun or much ventilation. It was nice to have the year guarantee that way if anything did happen I was covered. The tree went into the ground fast with a bit of root rocket and compost at the bottom the tree took hold very fast. I water is daily just to make sure it stays happy and healthy. Next year when it comes time to get a companion apple tree I will 100% go with FastGrwoingTrees. com!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertFrom skeptical to already planning a return order is such a great journey, Dan! So glad it arrived well packed and healthy and that the guarantee gave you confidence going in. The planting setup sounds spot on and we'd love to help you find that perfect companion apple tree when the time comes!

Apple Tree Project

Ordered 3 trees. One tree, the root ball was smashed, ironically that tree is doing the best (after 3 weeks). The Apple Trees appear or looks, to have some wilting of the leaves, and browning, we are hoping they perk up, with the warm summer weather coming. The branches one tree had no leaves on them. Over-all, we are happy with these trees and would purchase again.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertWe're so glad you're happy with your McIntosh apple trees overall, Paul, and that you'd purchase from us again! We're sorry about the damaged root ball and the wilting and browning you're seeing on some leaves. That's completely normal after shipping stress, and warmer weather is going to help them perk up beautifully. Keep watering thoroughly and give them a couple of weeks to re-establish. If any branches remain bare after a month, please reach out with photos and we'll help make it right!
