Golden Delicious:
A duel purpose apple. Excellent for eating fresh and excellent for cooking. It is sweet and aromatic. It retains it white flesh after cutting. Makes a clear applesauce which does not require much sugar. Ready mid-September. An excellent keeper in a second refrigerator over the winter. |
Fuji:
A very sweet, crisp, juicy apple. Known around the world. Excellent for eating fresh and salads. Stores like a dream all winter in the refrigerator. In fact, we like it even better when it has been in storage for a couple of months. It is our best storing apple, as it stays super crisp all winter. Ready late September |
Empire:
A cross between a McIntosh and Red Delicious. It is almost a burgundy color when ripe. Juicy, slightly tart and so crisp. A beautiful baking apple. My very favorite pie apple. Makes a pink applesauce, if you do not peel. Ready mid-September. Keeps well in the refrigerator over the winter. |
Jonathan:
Slightly tart with lots of snap. Bakes a delicious pie. Makes a pink applesauce if not peeled. Usually the apple used in caramel apples. Keeps well. Usually ready by early September. |
Red Delicious:
A crisp, sweet apple. Good for eating fresh in lunch boxes or for snacks. Also very good in salads. Keeps very well. |
Honey Crisp:
This exceptional new variety was developed from a Macoun x Honeygold cross at the University of Minnesota. The fruit is orange-red in color and this crisp, juicy, sweet apple has a rich flavor that has made it consistently #1 in taste panels. It is early ripening and stores very well. |
Golden Supreme:
This apple is a good selection as an early golden delicious. The color is greenish-yellow to a blush golden with firm cream-colored flesh that provides a sweet, juicy flavor. Excellent as a cooking apple and eating apple. Stores well under refrigeration. Ready to harvest by the first part of September. |
