Zestar
DESCRIPTION
Zestar! is a new apple variety introduced in 1999 by
the University of Minnesota. It matures with or slightly before
Paulared, hence, a comparison of attributes such as fruit
quality and taste should be of natural interest to Northeast
apple growers. As it turns out, Zestar! may indeed be a good
alternative or compliment to Paulared in the Northeast, particularly
for roadside markets and farm stands.
University of Minnesota breeders David Bedford and
James Luby’s narrative of Zestar! includes:
Description: Zestar! ™ is an early season apple
that ripens in late August
