Apple Tree With Low Chill Hours – Fuji Apple
From our friends at Dave Wilson Nursery. A great list of fruit varieties that are successful in low chill hour environment such as Southeast USA.
Fuji Apple Tree…Imported from Japan in the 1960’s Fuji is a cross between Ralls Janet and Delicious. Once thought to require high chill, Fuji has proven itself as a reliable producer throughout the low-chill southwest. We now rate it at less than 500 chill hours and for all practical purposes it should be considered in the 200 to 400 hour range. Fuji’s exterior color is a lackluster yellowish green with a blush of orange. Its interior color is a creamy orange yellow with a wonderful crispy, crunchy sweet flavor so don’t let its dull exterior fool you. Fuji has fast become one of the most popular apples varieties in the world. Fuji is self-fruitful and is also a recommended pollinator for other mid season apple varieties. Its ripening in the southwest is from late August through October. Fuji is also an excellent keeper and can maintain good quality for more than six months.
