Dwarf apple fuji
Description
Fuji is a modern apple variety that originated in Japan. It is known for its attractive pink speckled skin, sweet and crisp flesh, and long storage potential.
Fuji is a tip-bearing variety, which means it produces fruit at the end of the branches.
Fuji requires 500 chilling hours to set fruit, which is the amount of time the temperature is below 7°C (45°F) during winter.
Fuji is self-fertile, which means it can produce fruit without cross-pollination from another apple variety. However, cross-pollination can improve the fruit size and quality.
Fuji is a late-season apple, which means it ripens in late autumn or early winter. In New Zealand, it can be harvested from May to June.
