Apple Jonagold

Malus Jonagold, also known as Jonagold Apple Tree, is an American hybrid cross between Golden Delicious and the blushed red Jonathan raised in New York in 1953. 

It produces large, sweet apples that are favoured by commercial growers due to their reliable size. The flower is showy and pale pink in colour, produced in the spring as the foliage emerges. 

The leaves are small, elliptical, and glossy green in colour; they can exhibit some attractive yellow tones in the autumn. The apples are tasty and full of flavour, with a thin skin that makes them perfect for eating freshly picked. 

Malus Jonagold is a triploid apple variety, requiring two nearby pollination partners to produce fruit. Barcham Trees offers several suitable pollination partners, including Malus Discovery, Malus Howgate Wonder, Malus Elstar, and Malus Laxton’s Superb.

This tree will tolerate various soil conditions like most edible apples, provided it is well-drained.

We recommend rabbit guards for these trees if you live in an area prone to rabbits or deer.
