Description
First raised by Dr Stayman of Leavenworth, Kansas, USA in the 1860s. The variety gained some commercial popularity in the USA, having been promoted by the famous Stark Brothers Nursery, primarily for its culinary value. Although originating in Kansas, it is often associated with Virginia, where it is still quite widely grown in pick-your-own orchards. It is believed to be a seedling of Winesap and is often known as Stayman's Winesap.
Most authorities believe Stayman is a triploid variety, although there is no direct evidence of this. However several of its red-colored sports (e.g. Scarlet Staymared) are triploid. The Stayman apple is a triploid cultivar (three chromosomes instead of two) that can consistently bear apples if no conditions like freezing or late frosts happen. The size of the tree depends on the varieties you choose, standard, semi-dwarf or dwarf. It needs other apple trees to ensure pollination because of its triploid heritage, with potential choices including Gala, Golden or Red Delicious. It grows rather slowly at less than 12'' per year. This is one of the reason that this apple is expensive and rare to find.
