History and description of Jonagold

Jonagold was raised in 1943 at the New York State Agricultural Experimental Station, Geneva, New York, USA from a Golden Delicious X Jonathan. Introduced in 1968. Received RHS Award of Merit in 1987. A very successful commercial variety now grown all over Northern Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Japan. Also grown to a small extent in England.

A medium/large apple. Round shape with a trace of ribbing and slightly five-crowned. One-third to one-half flushed orange red with short, broad, broken stripes and many russet dots on bright yellow backgoround skin colour. Nearly yellow flesh, fine-textured, juicy and sweet with a good rich flavour. A vigorous triploid tree. Very heavy cropper. Prone to canker. Can fail to colour well in a poor English summer. More highly coloured sports such as Jonagored are available.
