 Embrace the taste of history and the thrill of genetic roulette with the Antonovka apple tree! This legendary Russian cultivar, originating in the 18th century, offers a unique opportunity to connect with the past and potentially cultivate a one-of-a-kind apple tree. Unlike most apple varieties that require grafting to ensure specific traits, Antonovka seeds hold the potential to "come true," meaning the resulting tree might possess characteristics similar to the parent tree.

Imagine nurturing a seedling from an Antonovka apple, carrying on the legacy of this revered fruit. While the exact characteristics of the resulting tree can be a delightful surprise, you're guaranteed exceptional hardiness – a trait that made Antonovka a favorite in cold climates for centuries. Even if the fruit from your seedling isn't perfect for eating raw, its tart and flavorful flesh is ideal for jams, jellies, and pies. So, plant an Antonovka apple seed and embark on a unique horticultural adventure, savoring the taste of history while potentially cultivating a future family heirloom!
