Blondee Apple

The Blondee apple is a relatively new apple cultivar that was developed in the United States by Cornell University's apple breeding program. It was first released in 2004 and has gained popularity among growers and consumers for its sweet, crisp, and juicy fruit. The tree is a medium-sized tree that is known for its upright growth habit and strong branching structure. It can grow up to 12-15 feet tall and wide at maturity. It is very cold-hardy.

The fruit of the Blondee apple is medium to large in size, with a yellow skin that is often blushed with red. The flesh of the apple is creamy white, crisp, and juicy, with a sweet flavor that has hints of honey and vanilla. The fruit ripens in mid- to late-September, depending on the location and climate. The Blondee apple is known for its disease resistance, particularly to scab, which is a fungal disease that can be devastating to apple trees. This resistance makes it a popular choice among growers who are looking for a low-maintenance and disease-resistant variety.
