Jonagold Apple Tree

The Jonagold Apple Tree is a cross between two classic apples, Golden Delicious and Jonathan, and it combines perfectly the sweetness of one with the acidity of the other, to give a fantastic apple that is both wonderful to eat and great for baked goods too. The apples are exceptionally large, crisp and juicy, with an equally exceptional flavor. The tree itself is vigorous and thrives from zone 5 to zone 8 and grows well in warmer areas. It also has exceptionally large flowers, and a tree flowering in spring rivals ornamental crab apples for beauty.

• Very large, juicy and delicious apples
• Classic red blush over pale-green coloring
• Great flavor and sweet/acid balance
• Excellent for both eating and cooking
• Vigorous and avoids diseases

Plant your Jonagold Apple Tree in well-drained soil in full sun. Keep the ground underneath free of grass or weeds and mulch each spring with compost or manure. Annual pruning is needed to develop and maintain a good structure to your tree, and to keep it fruiting well. Because of its vigor this is a larger tree than many other apples, and it yields an enormous harvest to match its size. This tree needs a second suitable variety of apple to pollinate it and ensure a harvest.
