Viking apple was introduced by the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station in 1969. Its large fruit has deep maroon to purple skin and crisp, juicy flesh with a sweet tart, aromatic flavour. Viking is suited to fresh eating, baking, sauce, and cider.
The vigorous, early bearing tree shows resistance to fire blight, powdery mildew, and cedar apple rust, but can be susceptible to apple scab. Fruit ripens in mid September.

Apples need pollen from a different apple or crabapple to set fruit. A second variety in your yard will do it, and so will a neighbour's apple or fruiting crabapple. Double flowered ornamental crabapples make no pollen and do not count.
