Myra Red Fuji Apple Tree

Description

Description

Myra Red Fuji is a much-improved Fuji — more brilliantly colored, somewhat larger, and with one of the most extraordinary storage qualities of any apple variety available: it tastes just-picked as late as March. That’s five-plus months of peak-quality Fuji flavor from a single October harvest, without any decline in the sweet, crisp character that makes Fuji one of America’s most beloved apples. And unlike standard Fuji, Myra Red performs reliably further north — a meaningful practical improvement for home orchardists in the upper reaches of Zones 5–8. Here’s the Fuji improved in every direction that matters.

Tastes Just-Picked as Late as March

Five months of storage that maintains just-picked flavor quality is genuinely exceptional. Most apples hold reasonably well for a few months, but the flavor and texture degradation that sets in over time is the consistent limitation of even good-storing varieties. Myra Red Fuji’s storage quality holds so well that March apples from an October harvest are genuinely indistinguishable from fresh — which means one tree, one harvest, and nearly half a year of peak-quality homegrown apples.

More Brilliant Color — Dark Red Striping Over a Lighter Red Ground

Myra Red Fuji’s coloring is visually striking — very attractive dark red striping over a lighter red ground color that’s more purely and brilliantly red than the standard Fuji. The improved color isn’t just cosmetic; it indicates a more complete maturation process that contributes to the fuller, richer flavor development that makes Myra Red’s storage quality so exceptional.

Performs Further North Than Standard Fuji

Standard Fuji has significant warm-climate bias — it needs a long, warm season to fully develop its characteristic sweetness, which limits its performance at the northern end of its range. Myra Red performs reliably further north, extending the range of excellent Fuji-type apple growing to home orchardists in Zones 5–8 who have found standard Fuji inconsistent.
