Sounds fun harvestman I've never heard of it so please keep is in the loop on how it does.

Wish I had room. Ever since I got my first Jonagolds off of one of my trees it's been one of my favorite apples. Surprised I don't see this on more Supermarket shelves.

I just got an answer from ACN and their expert says it doesn't ripen before Jonagold but colors early.

Jonagold can be a tricky variety- on good years great but if it's too warm during ripening it doesn't develop very well- gets greasy, they say but also doesn't taste great.

I think some of the newer strains are better- not quite as big and firmer.

I love Jonagold's. Before my small orchard they were my fav. 'u-pick' apple. They were huge, baked well and tasted great fresh or cooked. I can't wait to hear your report on this apple h-man. How many years before first harvest ? Mine took five years to produce three apples. It is a slow one. I wonder if Jonaprince will be a bit faster to produce? Mrs. G

Agreed they are wonderful cooked and just a very nice sweet apple- they are also reliably productive if reasonably thinned.

I am also a huge fan of Jonathon, which were just amazing apples here last year.

I expect to have an answer on this one in 2-3 years.

I have 30+jonaprince trees at my N.W. Missouri orchard. None were ready Sept 10. But Jonagold apples at home were already picked. My observation last year was that Jonaprince is a little later than many, say last half of September. I think the source of the problem here is in editing proper dates. Moreover, I understand that Jonaprince is merely a sport of Jonagold. And both are excellent.
