We put this apple on a dwarf rootstalk, so it will be only 8′ to 12′ at maturity. It will need lifetime support either through staking or a trellis system. It is on a double splice that will give it a deep root system, which is not often the case with dwarfs. It is drought tolerant and very cold hardy.
Jonaprince is notorious for its brilliant red color and firm, crisp flesh. It is prized as a fresh-eating apple. The large-sized apples store and ship well. The taste is sweet with just enough tart to make it well balanced. Flavor tents in increase if it is stored.
Jonaprince ripens around the beginning of September.
Jonaprince is a natural mutation of a Jonagold tree, found in the Neitherlands in 1994. It is a descendant of Jonathan and Golden Delicious.
It blooms mid-season, so good companions are Yellow Transparent, Summer Rambo, and Smokehouse. See our “Product Snapshot” page for a list of compatible pollinators.
