The phrase identifies a specific type of fruit-bearing tree (Williams Pride apple) being offered for purchase. This indicates a commercial transaction involving the propagation and distribution of a particular cultivar known for its early ripening characteristics and disease resistance. The phrase suggests the availability of live trees, ready for planting in orchards or home gardens, obtainable through nurseries or private sellers.
The availability of this tree type is significant due to the cultivar’s unique properties, including early-season fruit production, which extends the apple harvesting period. Its resistance to common apple diseases, such as apple scab, reduces the need for chemical interventions, benefitting both the environment and the grower. Historically, access to disease-resistant varieties has been crucial for sustainable apple cultivation.
