Pinova Apple Bareroot

History: Pinova was developed in Eastern Germany at the Institut für Obstforschung Dresden-Pillnitz (translated from German as the Dresden-Pillnitz Institute for Fruit Research) and released in 1986. It is also known as Corail, Sonata, and is sold under the brand name Pinata in the US. 

Why We Grow It: Pinova produces lovely yellow fruit with pink to red blush and some striping. It is very flavourful with plenty of sweetness and complexity and a strong floral aroma. This crisp, juicy apple is great for fresh eating, produces bountiful crops, and stores exceptionally well. The tree is also resistant to scab and late spring frosts!

Shipping: Every year we ship thousands of plants across Canada. We carefully bag roots in damp sawdust, then box them and send them out via courier. CLICK HERE to see our shipping policy.

Pick-up: We also have thousands of trees picked up from our nursery each year. The pick-up options is free, though you must wait until you have been emailed a confirmation that your order is ready to pick up, which will have further information such as hours, locations, etc.

We have simplified our crop inventory for grafted fruit trees into two sizes:

1m+ Grade: this often has some feathering, and is measured including the rootstock.

50-80cm Grade: this is like a 'b-grade' tree, sometimes with minor scaring or bent, these trees are priced accordingly.
