Product Details

Crisp, Juicy, Delicious, Mid Season, Classic Eater Saucer and Cider Apple

Jonathan has the distinct perfume and flavor of the classic apple. It was first discovered in the 1790s as a chance Esopsus Spitzenburg seedling on the farm of Philip Rick in Woodstock, New York. It was named Jonathon after the President of the Albany Horticultural Society, Jonathon Hasbrouck.
Firm and tart when eaten right off the tree in September, but needs to be used by October. Great pie apple!

We found this Jonathan apple on an old homestead and orchard in Pioneer, CA along the Golden Chain Highway 49. With acres of other heritage trees - still thriving - this tree still produces fabulous fruit! The family of pioneers kept records of their plantings and labeled most of the trees with cutout aluminum can circles and imprinted names. This made it so much easier to identify the fruit.
