Majesty Apple

Malus domestica 'Majesty'

Majesty is a new introduction from Italy that is resistant to scab and other diseases.  The fruit is large and is pinkish-red.  The flesh is crisp, sweet-tart and delicious.  It stores well and could be considered an alternative to Fuji in that season.  The tree is only moderately vigorous.  Stores well.

Europe is a hotbed of apple breeding for disease resistance as the industry there is trying to rely less on chemical applications to control disease.
