Myer’s Limbertwig is a true Southern heirloom, treasured for generations in the Appalachian region and beyond. Its curious name comes from the slightly drooping growth habit of its branches, which seem to “limber” in the breeze. Grown for both its durability and its flavor, this variety has quietly earned a loyal following among cider makers and heritage apple enthusiasts.

With its deep red to russeted skin and dense, creamy flesh, Myer’s Limbertwig packs a flavor that’s rich, mellow, and subtly spiced—a taste that feels almost nostalgic. It’s not a flashy apple, but rather one that reveals its complexity slowly, making it perfect for those who appreciate a depth of character in their fruit. In cider, it lends body and balance; in pies or cakes, it bakes beautifully without losing its unique, delicious flavor.
