They are exceptionally sweet, crisp, and juicy, making them excellent for fresh eating, cooking, and baking. They have a flavour profile some compare to a hint of 'Honeycrisp' and 'Yellow Delicious'.\r\nHarvest Time: The fruit matures in mid-September in northern areas, though they can be eaten from late August.\r\nHardiness: Developed in Neepawa, Manitoba, it is extremely cold-hardy, rated for Canadian Hardiness Zone 3.\r\nGrowth Habit: It grows as a deciduous tree with a rounded form, reaching about 20 feet (6 meters) tall and wide at maturity. Dwarf options, grafted on rootstock like Ottawa #3, are also available and reach about 12-15 feet\r\nPollination: 'Prairie Magic' requires a different variety of apple or crabapple tree nearby to set fruit. Good potential pollinators include varieties like 'Goodland', 'Mantet', 'Norland', or 'Kerr' crabapple.\r\nLight \u0026amp; Soil: It performs best in full sunlight and prefers average to moist, well-drained soil.\r\nMaintenance: This variety is known as a reliable, \"precocious\" annual bearer, meaning it fruits every year without fail. It is a relatively high-maintenance plant that benefits from regular care, including pruning in late winter","brand":"Aubin Nurseries Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49707106271472,"sku":"73950","price":104.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/3617\/4760\/files\/73950-1.jpg?v=1783114794","url":"https:\/\/floralacres.ca\/products\/apple-7-gal-prairie-magic-87981","provider":"Floral Acres Greenhouse \u0026 Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
