Apple ‘Jupiter’ (PBR)

‘Jupiter’ is a vigorous cultivar well-suited for northerly, colder, and wetter areas. The apple skin starts as greenish-yellow and turns to a lustrous golden yellow with flushes of orange-red. It offers a sharp, strong, slightly more acidic flavour than Cox, with heavy crops ripening from late October to January. The irregularly shaped fruit may have heavy russeting but store well, providing a good supply even until late winter. The juicy flesh, off-white with a hint of green, has a dense and firm texture, described as “fruit cocktail” in taste. The foliage turns a beautiful orange-red in autumn, complementing the marvelous yellow-red fruits, ideal for fresh eating, pies, and crumbles.

Pollination information: This apple belongs to pollination group 3, however it is a triploid cultivar and requires a pollinating partner to produce a crop of apples. For a bumper crop, it can be cross-pollinated with other apples in this group.
