Jonamac – Semi-dwarf Apple – Quinte Gardens Nursery

Description

Attractive, high-quality McIntosh-type dessert apple that is medium in size with 90 percent dark red color. Fruit is firm and crisp, ripening just ahead of McIntosh. Tree is medium-sized, very productive and an annual bearer. Jonamac is suggested as a pollenizer due to its extended bloom period and apparent tolerance to fire blight.

As might be guessed, the classic fall apple known as Jonamac is a hybrid, a cross between McIntosh and Jonathan made as part of a New York State University breeding program.

Its color is an impressive dark-red to deep ruby-red, over a green background.

Some apple connoisseurs say Jonamac’s taste is spicy with undertones of cinnamon, nutmeg or even honey.  It’s crispy like a McIntosh, but overall a much firmer, medium-sized dessert apple.

Jonamac is  well-known, it is rated excellent for every use from fresh eating and salads to baking, cooking and applesauce.
