About the September Wonder® Fuji Apple Tree

Enjoy the beloved Fuji flavor—without the long wait. September Wonder® is an early-ripening Fuji strain, delivering the same crisp, juicy sweetness up to six weeks sooner than traditional Fuji varieties. Introduced around 1997, this standout cultivar makes it possible for growers in cooler regions to successfully grow and harvest Fuji apples where the season may otherwise be too short.

Known for its dense, crisp texture and rich, sugary flavor, this apple is perfect for fresh eating and desserts, offering that classic Fuji taste earlier in the season.

Growing September Wonder® Fuji Apples

This cold-hardy Fuji strain ripens in mid-September, making it an excellent choice for northern growers or anyone looking to extend their apple harvest season. The tree is productive and reliable, producing high-quality fruit with excellent storage potential, keeping for 4–5 months in standard cold storage and even longer under optimal conditions.

September Wonder® maintains the signature Fuji qualities gardeners love—firm flesh, balanced sweetness, and versatility, while offering the added benefit of an earlier harvest window. A pollinator is required for optimal fruit production, so be sure to plant alongside another compatible apple variety.

For growers who love Fuji apples but need a shorter season option, September Wonder® delivers the same exceptional flavor with earlier rewards.

September Wonder® is a trademark of C&O Nursery, Inc. Fiero cultivar.
