Melrose is a well-regarded American apple, with an attractive red-flushed skin.
Melrose is very similar to Jonathan, one of the best-flavored American apples - and one of its parents. The other parent is Red Delicious, and its sweet flavor complements the sharper flavors of Jonathan well.
The apples store well - they can be kept for 3 months in a fridge, and the flavor is arguably at its best after a month or so of storage.
How to grow
Its Red Delicious parentage ensures Melrose grows vigorously and productively. Melrose has a tendency to over-crop so it is a good idea to thin the fruitlets in late May.
