Fuji Apple

Fuji Apple is a widely popular variety known for its exceptionally sweet flavor, crisp texture, and long shelf life, making it a favorite for fresh eating and salads. This deciduous tree thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soils and requires regular watering, particularly during the growing season, to produce its best-quality fruit. Fuji Apple trees benefit from annual pruning to maintain their shape and encourage good air circulation, which helps prevent disease. Developed in Japan in the 1930s, Fuji Apple is a cross between Red Delicious and Ralls Janet, and it has since become one of the most beloved apple varieties worldwide. The apples are large with a dense, juicy flesh that holds up well in storage, making them a staple in households and markets alike. Additionally, Fuji Apple trees support pollinators and contribute to the biodiversity of orchards, making them a valuable addition to home gardens and commercial orchards.
