Jonagold Apple Tree

The Malus domestica ‘Jonagold’ is a late-season popular American variety of apple, with a rich fragrant flavour. The Jonagold apple inherits its ability to be stored from one of its parents the Golden Delicious, however it gets its excellent flavour from its other parent the New York apple, Jonathan.

Apple are one of the easier fruit trees to grow and are increasingly becoming more popular with gardeners. They are medium sized deciduous trees with flashy Spring flowers and ornamental or edible fruit in the Autumn.

The fruit is large and with a red flush and stripes, with a crispy honey taste. Jonagold is a versatile apple, as well as being delicious when eaten fresh, it is also very popular when it comes to cooking and juicing. The Jonagold crops regularly and heavily, the apples store well and can be used from November through to January/February.

Apple trees benefit from growing in slightly sheltered, sunny area, as the blossom will attract a large variety of pollinators as well as the sun will help ripen the fruit.
