Jonagold is high quality American apple developed in the early 20th Century that grows large yellow and red blushed fruit which provides an exquisite sweet, tangy flavor. As its name suggests, this apple is a cross between Jonathan and Golden Delicious. Provides a firm crisp with each bite, revealing gleaming white flesh. Tasting notes are sweet, but not overly so, with perfectly balancing acidity – an excellent apple for eating fresh off the tree. With a shorter harvest season than most other modern cultivars which limits availability in store, Jonagold apples are a rare treat when fruit ripens in late fall.
