Description
Jonagold is an American apple, developed in the 1940s. As its name suggests, this is a cross between a Jonathan and a Golden Delicious. It is quite widely grown, and unusually for a Golden Delicious cross, is not limited to warmer regions of the UK. The colouring is yellow of Golden Delicious, with large flushes of red. This is a crisp apple to bite into, with gleaming white flesh. The flavour is sweet but with a lot of acidity.
To guarantee cross pollination plant in a sunny, open site with another tree from the same flowering group (e.g. ‘James Grieve’).
Common Name: Apple Jonagold (Dessert)
Latin Name: Malus domestica ‘Jonagold’
