This tree is perfect for organic growers or home gardeners. It is field immune to scab, moderately resistant to powdery mildew, highly resistant to cedar-apple rust, and highly resistant to fire blight. It has a very slight tendency to biennialism, which can be easily countered with thinning. Due to its long ripening season, we recommend growing in zones 5 and above. However, the low chill requirement (500 hours) will be an advantage to many growers.

Co-op 29 is a pale yellow apple that wears a pretty pink blush and scattered russeting. The flesh is medium to coarse grained, cream colored, very firm, very crisp and breaking. The flavor is spicy, full, and rich, a sprightly sub-acid that mellows in refrigerated storage. Fruit ripens mid-late October in upstate NY. It will hang on the tree until overripe, and it retains texture and flavor for five months or more in refrigerated storage. This is also a great apple for baking and sauce.
