Description

Red Fuji delivers everything that made Fuji one of the world’s most beloved apple varieties — crisp texture, intensely sweet aromatic flavor, and extraordinary storage life — with the added advantage of deeper, bolder red color. This improved Fuji selection produces beautiful, eye-catching apples that store for up to 12 months under proper refrigeration, making it one of the longest-keeping apple varieties a home grower can plant. Hardy in Zones 5–8 and organic options available, it’s a premium addition to any home orchard.

The World’s Most Popular Apple — With Better Color

Fuji apples became a global phenomenon for their uniquely dense, crisp texture and exceptionally sweet, aromatic flavor — and Red Fuji delivers all of that with more pronounced red striping over the classic Fuji profile. Unlike earlier Fuji selections that developed only a light blush, Red Fuji produces bold, richly colored fruit that looks as impressive as it tastes. The apples ripen in late October, giving you a beautiful late-season harvest to carry into the cold months ahead.

Up to 12 Months of Storage

Red Fuji’s keeping quality is genuinely extraordinary. Properly refrigerated, the apples maintain their crisp texture and sweet flavor for up to a full year — meaning your late October harvest can still be fresh and delicious the following fall. For home growers who want to enjoy their own fruit across the entire year, few varieties come close to matching that kind of storage performance.

Versatile in the Kitchen, Outstanding Fresh

Red Fuji is at its best eaten fresh — crisp, juicy, and aromatic in a way that rewards every bite. Its firm texture also holds up well in baking, cooking, and canning, making it a genuinely versatile variety for the kitchen throughout its extended storage season.
