Fuji Supreme™ Apple Tree

Fuji Supreme™ Apple is the most vibrantly colored Fuji selection available — a sport discovered in Central Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand that delivers everything Fuji growers love about the variety in a dramatically darker, bolder package. The same extraordinary sweet, crisp, firm, juicy flavor that has made Fuji one of the world’s most widely grown apple varieties. The same exceptional storage life that keeps the October harvest fresh and flavorful well into winter. But where standard Fuji ripens to a greenish-yellow base with soft red striping, Fuji Supreme™ ripens to a deep, rich, dark red with bold stripes that make it as visually impressive at harvest as it is outstanding to eat. A pollinator is required.

The Bold-Colored Fuji Sport — Discovered in New Zealand

Fuji Supreme™ originated as a natural color sport of standard Fuji, identified in Central Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand for its dramatically darker coloring. Sports of popular apple varieties are selected specifically when they offer something the parent doesn’t, and Fuji Supreme™'s contribution is clear: the deep, dark red coloring and bold stripe pattern that makes it visually distinctive among Fuji selections while retaining every quality that made the original Fuji so successful.

All of Fuji’s Best Qualities — Sweet, Crisp, Long-Storing

The flavor and texture profile is classic Fuji: exceptionally sweet, genuinely crisp and crunchy, firm and juicy flesh that makes every bite satisfying. The October ripening places it at the end of the apple season, and the well-documented long storage life means that late harvest continues delivering quality well into winter when earlier varieties have softened. For home orchardists who want the definitive sweet, crisp, long-storing apple in its most visually striking form, Fuji Supreme™ is the natural choice.

Only 500-600 Chill Hours — Accessible to Warmer Climates

The 500-600 chill hour requirement is meaningfully lower than many northern apple varieties, making Fuji Supreme™ practical for Zone 7-8 gardens in warmer growing regions where high-chill varieties fail to fruit reliably. That lower chill requirement, combined with the cold hardiness through Zone 4, gives it one of the broader zone adaptability ranges of any premium Fuji selection.
