A very spurry tree, producing typey red fruit. This new variety, a chance seedling from the Peshastin, WA, orchard of Darrel Caudle, has been generating lots of excitement. Beautiful bright red stripes cover a yellow-green under color. And the apple tastes as good as it looks, with crunchy sweet-tart flavor. Pick it green as it begins to turn and it will fully ripen to a beautiful golden yellow or let it hang for a red blush to develop on the sun-exposed side.
Flavor is sweet, tangy and juicy.
Fast becoming one of America's favorite apple varieties, this red sport of Gala has all the great flavor and aroma of the standard. The juicy flesh bursts with tangy sweetness. The skin is golden covered with bright red-orange stripes. An unmistakable sweet taste and firm crunch has catapulted Red Fuji into the forefront of the apple market. This Japanese apple is a terrific keeper.
