(SUPER DWARF) Malus Domestica 'Jonathan' (Apple Jonathan)
(Super Dwarf) Malus Domestica 'Jonathan' (Apple Jonathan) is a compact, columnar apple tree known for its sweet and tart apples with smooth, red skin and firm, crisp flesh. The fruit is perfect for fresh eating, baking, making juices, or preserving, offering a delicious balance of sweetness and acidity. This variety is prized for its consistent productivity and excellent fruit quality, even in smaller spaces.
The tree has a narrow, upright growth habit, making it ideal for small gardens, pots, or urban spaces. In early spring, Apple Jonathan blooms with white blossoms, adding ornamental beauty and attracting pollinators for fruit production. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, is self-fertile, and produces high-quality fruit. The apples ripen in mid to late autumn, providing a reliable and tasty harvest.
As a super dwarf variety, Apple Jonathan is bred to stay small and compact, perfect for gardeners with limited space while still producing a full crop of high-quality apples.
