Jonathan Apple

Jonathan Apple Trees are fruit trees grown primarily for the edible fruit it produces. They grow well in moist, well-drained soils and are not drought tolerant. The bright red fruit they produce is medium-sized, and are known for their bold and tart flavor. In addition to the fruit, it produces white to light pink blossoms and can be pollinated with a variety from a different apple family. Jonathan Apple trees require regular watering, and requires about 700 chill hours during a typical winter season.
