Yoinashi Asian Pear

Zabargau

Introduced:  1885, Germany

One of the largest of the russets, this apple is bronze patched and streaked over a green background. It’s a dense apple, crunchy and aromatic. The flavor when harvested is intense and sweet-sharp, but mellows in storage, developing a balanced sweetness that has the rich nuttiness we expect from a good russet. It will store well and has found favor with some American cider makers for its aromatic qualities.

Mid Season

Zestar!

Introduced: 1999, Minnesota

This early Honeycrisp is a mid-summer dessert apple that is crisp, juicy and almost fizzes with each bite. Zestar!s are tangy with flavorful skin and porous, succulent flesh. A growing favorite that is best enjoyed fresh!

Early Season – Fresh
