Our Variety Assessment

Its strengths, growing requirements and the conditions in which it performs best.

Fuji is ideal for growers who enjoy very sweet, firm apples that remain crisp for a long time. Its juicy fruit stores for several months and is excellent for fresh eating. We recommend it for regions with warm summers and long autumns. The very late harvest, usually in late October or early November, makes it less reliable in cool northern locations.

Description

Fuji is a popular commercial apple variety, renowned for its mild sweet flavour and crisp texture. The skin colors can vary from red/pink flush over yellow to a deeper speckled pink.

Fuji does best in warm climates, and needs a long growing season to allow it to develop its full potential. The apples are usually ripe in late October or early November.

The apples can be kept for many months in a fridge.

Fuji seems to be a variety that repays care and attention by the grower during the growing season.
