C&O Nursery 2015 Variety Showcase [Slideshow]

(Lenz cultivar) An exciting new Jonagold sport discovered as a limb mutation of Rubinstar® in 2004. The fruit colors up to 100% red weeks before proper picking time and is usually a one pick variety. Jonastar finishes with a nice subtle stripe over a bright-red background and has the same true Jonagold quality, taste and size. Ripens with other Jonagold selections.

Begins to color in June and reaches full blush color by mid-August. No other early red sport colors or matures sooner or has whiter flesh. Tests indicate the Brix level allows for the earliest picking opportunities.

Aztec Fuji is a sweet, juicy apple with crisp texture. Aztec is a blush that originated in New Zealand, and is one of the highest-coloring Fuji sports to date.
