Description

A limb mutation of Jonnee® Jonathan. Completely blushed solid red in early August in Missouri, 10 days before any other strain, and more than three weeks before the parent variety attains adequate color for harvest. When allowed to mature before picking, color approaches that of Arkansas Black. Internal fruit quality appears to be as good as, or better than, the Robison clutivar. Fruit maturity may be a week before Jonnee®. Pollinator required: Choose another apple variety. See Recommended Pollinators below.
