Ambrosia

DESCRIPTION

Ambrosia is a yellow apple with an almost fluorescent pink and orange/red blush; its juicy, cream-colored flesh is sweet with low acid and offers a soft crunch much like Golden Delicious. It is a good juicing or fresh-eating apple; its flavor becomes somewhat pear-like if not refrigerated. Ambrosias are not noted for storing well, even in controlled atmosphere storage, and they are generally ready for harvest in late September.

HISTORY

Ambrosia, a 1980 British Columbian chance seedling believed to be a cross between Golden Delicious and Jonagold, is one of the newer varieties on the market.
