Silver Creek Nursery Ltd.

Sundance Apple Bareroot

History: Sundance is one of many varieties created by the collaborative PRI disease-resistant breeding program run by Purdue University, Rutgers University, and the University of Illinois. It was selected for its excellent disease resistance, good flavour, and good keeping ability and introduced in 2004. It was given the name Sundance™ to highlight its attractive yellow skin and light red blush it sometimes develops.

Why We Grow It: It is hard to turn down an apple that sounds as wonderful as Sundance! It is crisp and juicy with a spicy, citric flavour. Along with being great for fresh eating, the fruit also holds its shape well when baked. As an added bonus, this variety is resistant to many common apple diseases and stores quite well so you'll have plenty of high quality apples to easily last you through the winter.

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.
