JONAGOLD APPLE TREE
Malus domestica 'Jonagold' is commonly referred to as Jonagold Apple tree. It is a popular cultivar that is semi-dwarf and grows to 12-15 feet tall and wide. It features white blossoms which appear in spring, followed by large, red-over-yellow apples with a juicy yellow-white flesh and a nice balanced flavor. It ripens in mid-September and requires a pollinator such as a Golden Delicious, Red Delicious and Gala - all in the Flowering Group No. 4. Parentage: Jonathan and Golden Delicious. Jonagold is a triploid variety which will not pollinate other apple varieties.
Jonagold apple trees thrive in full sun in deep, loamy, fertile, slightly acidic, evenly moist, well-drained soils.

To help this tree settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in deep, fertile, well-draining soil, selecting a location that receives full sun to ensure optimal fruit production and foliage color. Apple trees are sensitive to standing water, so avoid planting in low-lying areas where water collects. Provide deep, regular watering during the first few growing seasons until the tree is well established and ensure you verify the soil drainage before planting.
Maintenance is uniform across most edible cultivars: Prune in late winter or early spring while the tree is dormant to improve air circulation, control shape, and encourage productive growth. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, keeping the material pulled back from the trunk to prevent decay. Most apple trees require cross-pollination from a different, compatible variety to produce a reliable harvest, so always ensure you have a pollinator partner nearby.
