25 Santana Apple Seeds - Malus domestica Low-Allergen Crisp Apple for Garden Planting

The Santana apple is a distinctive Malus domestica variety prized for its crisp, juicy flesh and its reputation as a low-allergen apple, making it a thoughtful choice for home gardeners and orchard growers alike. This Dutch-bred cultivar produces medium-to-large fruit with a balanced sweet-tart flavor that works well for fresh eating, baking, and cider making.

Santana apples are known for their attractive red-blushed skin over a yellow-green background and their firm, fine-grained texture.

Planting & Care

Apple seeds benefit from cold stratification before sowing. To stratify, place seeds in a moist paper towel inside a sealed bag and refrigerate for several weeks, then sow indoors in a seed-starting mix. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide bright light once seedlings emerge. Transplant young trees outdoors after the last frost when they are large enough to handle.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil for best growth. Water regularly during establishment and mulch around the base to conserve moisture. Note that apples grown from seed may not produce fruit identical to the parent variety, and trees typically take several years to mature and bear fruit.
