Fuji Apple

The Fuji apple is a hybrid created in Japan in the 1930’s with two American apple varieties, Red Delicious and old Virginia Ralls Genet. It is named after the town near the research station, Fujisaki. The Fuji tree will produce apples after 3 to 5 years of growth. With its sweet/tart flavor, the Fuji Apple is a favorite fresh eating apple that is crisp, firm, and juicy. Excellent taste. Boasts beautiful red-colored skin and is medium in size. Produces large yields that ripen late season. Soil type needed is average to loamy but responds to enriched soil with better production. This tree also responds well to draining soil.
