**Collection Only** The ‘Jonagold’ apple tree (Malus domestica) is a vigorous, award-winning variety valued for its large, high-quality fruit and versatility. Key Characteristics of Jonagold Trees Fruit Profile: Produces large apples with yellow-green skin and red-orange flushes. The flesh is creamy-white, crisp, and juicy with a balanced sweet-tart, honey-like flavour.

Storage: They store well for about 2–4 months if kept cold. Site Selection: Prefers a sheltered, sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil. Pruning: Best pruned in the dormant winter season (November to March) to maintain an open canopy and remove diseased wood. Uses Eating: Excellent fresh dessert apple. Cooking: Holds its shape well in pies and tarts. Juicing: High juice content makes it ideal for cider and fresh juice.  Large Rootball 4-5ft
