JerseyMac Apple

Malus domestica 'JerseyMac'

JerseyMac apple is a very early McIntosh type apple that ripens in early summer in late July.  It is an attractive, medium sized apple with predominatly red skin over a light yellow background.  The flesh is whitish-yellow, crisp, juicy, and has a tasty, aromatic flavor similar to McIntosh.  It is an early bloomer.  Keeps fairly well for such an early, summer apple.

JerseyMac is a complicated cross of many varieties that was bred in New Jersey and introduced in 1971.  It was a very good summer apple for its season, and Grandpa grew many on the farm.
