Jonafree™ Apple
Malus domestica 'Jonafree™'
Grandpa's Nature Friendly™ Jonafree is one of the scab immune varieties, that is most like it namesake, with which it ripens. Jonafree is nearly identical to old-time red Jonathan in eating quality, flavor, and appearance. It is slightly less acidic though. It is a bright red apple, with glossy skin and generally no russeting. It does not develop "Jonathan" spot when stored, like normal Jonathan does. Can be used as an all purpose apple.
