Jonagored

The Jonagored apple is a juicy, sweet, and slightly tart apple known for its firm bite and beautiful red blush. This variety is a mutant of the popular Jonagold, but stands out with its more intense color and longer shelf life. Perfect as a snack, but also delicious in apple pie or as a fresh touch in a salad.
