Great looks and great taste have made this 1962 introduction from Japan a classic for eating. The medium-size fruits have lovely red stripes over a yellow-green skin and sweet, juicy yet crisp, white flesh that keeps well. Early fall ripening. 'Fuji' needs just 350-400 chilling hours, so will grow in parts of California, and does well in traditional Zone 5-6 Apple country as well. Our plant has a semi-dwarf rootstock, which means it will mature at about 80% the size of a standard Apple tree. You'll have plenty of fruit for a family of four if you let the tree self-pollinate, or you can increase fruit production by cross-pollination when you grow 'Yellow Delicious' or 'Red Delicious' as well. We ship plants with a 1/2in caliper.
Please note: Semi-dwarf Apple trees will sometimes fruit the first year after planting, and usually will fruit by the second year. However, experienced growers recommend that you remove any fruit for several years after planting so that your young tree can put all its energy into establishing strong roots and branches.
