Rendleman Orchards Apple Varieties
 

There are enough different apple varieties to fill the telephone book of a small town - about 7,500. At Rendleman Orchards, we grow and recommend five versatile varieties that can, individually or combined, fulfill the requirements of any recipe or be eaten out of hand. All three store well, to be enjoyed for months. 
 

Gala    August 21 - September
A wonderful early season apple with outstanding qualities. Its firm, crisp texture yields a sweet, juicy flavor that is good by the slice or in a pie. We begin picking Galas the third week of August and continue into September.
Jonathon Apples - August 31-December Jonathon   August 31 - December
An apple with a sweet-tart intense flavor which is great for eating or cooking. A top pick for pies and tarts and is also appropriate for sauces and applebutter. The skin is deep, clear red with crisp, yellowish flesh and a spicy fragrance. Harvesting starts the fourth week in August and continues through the third week of September.
Red Delicious Apples - September 7-December Red Delicious   September 7 - December
Sweet flavor, creamy white flesh, pleasant perfume and crimson red skin make this a standout for snacks or fruit salads. Sometimes tart when first picked, the flavor quickly develops and matures over time. Picking of the Red Delicious variety begins the second week of September and continues for two weeks.
Golden Delicious Apples - September 7-December Golden Delicious   September 7 - December
An excellent all-purpose apple with creamy white flesh and greenish-yellow skin, turning to golden, when fully mature. Golden Delicious are ideal for eating out of hand, as well as being a favorite for pies, coblers and tarts. Its versatility makes it our best seller. Harvesting of Golden Delicious begins the second week of September and continues until the first week of October.
Fuji Apples - October 7-December Fuji   October 7 - November
A late season, but popular variety. This mildly sweet apple has a crunch when you bit into it, as well as maintains its firmness during storage. Fujis are harvested beginning the first week of October and continues into November.

*All dates subject to change. Please give us a call for exact harvest dates for a given variety.
