A Stark Bro's Exclusive!

Stark® Super Red Fuji Apple is the Fuji selection built for storage: properly kept, the late October harvest holds for up to one year while retaining its crisp, firm, sweet, juicy character. That extraordinary storage life makes it one of the most practically valuable apples a home orchardist can grow, delivering fresh crisp apples well past the harvest season and into the following summer. The deep scarlet coloring is uniformly rich across the fruit — gorgeous in salads and on platters — and the room-temperature crispness retention means the apples stay satisfying to eat even after a few days out of cold storage. A Stark Bro’s Exclusive introduced in 2012. Disease-resistant to scab and mildew. A pollinator is required.

Up to One Year in Storage — The Exceptional Keeping Fuji

The storage claim is the defining quality that separates Stark® Super Red Fuji from other Fuji selections. Most apples store well for 2-4 months in proper refrigeration. Fuji varieties are known for good keeping quality. Stark® Super Red Fuji extends that further — up to one year in proper cold storage while retaining the crisp, sweet, juicy character that makes Fuji the world’s most widely grown apple variety. For home orchardists who want to harvest once in late October and enjoy fresh homegrown apples through the following summer, no other selection delivers that.

Deep Scarlet, Room-Temperature Crisp — Outstanding for Fresh Eating

The deep, rich scarlet coloring is uniform and visually striking at harvest — not the streaky or uneven coloring that some red Fuji sports produce, but a consistently saturated scarlet that makes every apple look as good as it tastes. The room-temperature crispness retention means these apples perform beautifully in situations where refrigeration isn’t available: fruit bowls, lunch bags, platters, and anywhere the apple needs to stay crisp and attractive for hours after being brought to room temperature.

Disease-Resistant to Scab and Mildew — A Stark Bro’s Exclusive

Introduced by Stark Bro’s in 2012, Stark® Super Red Fuji brings disease resistance to scab and mildew that many Fuji selections lack. That resistance meaningfully reduces spray management requirements through the growing season, supporting cleaner, healthier foliage and more attractive fruit without intensive fungicide programs. Hardy, productive, and easy to grow in Zones 5-8.
