Jonalicious marries the sophisticated flavors of Jonathan and the sweet crisp reliability of Red Delicious. It's a fairly large apple which is great for eating fresh, but also versatile in the kitchen - and like Red Delicious it will keep fresh for months in a fridge.

Jonalicious flowers quite late in the spring, and is a good pollinator of other late-bloom varieties.
