Norkent Apple Rootstock/Size:Antonovka Full Size: 2-4 ft. (One year older)Overview Norkent is a cross between Haralson (a true apple) and Rescue (an apple x crabapple hybrid). Norkent is one of the best tasting of the "Nor" series of apples, and is very hardy. Although we've only been growing Norkent for a couple years, weve been impressed by its performance in Montanas brutal winters. It has shown remarkable resilience, including surviving 47F on Ed Schultzs farm in Gallatin Gateway, MT without any winter injury. Ed
