Additional Info
Additional Info
The Spygold apple is a large, attractive fruit with a golden-yellow skin often flushed with a rosy blush. Its flesh is firm, crisp, and juicy, offering a sweet, tangy flavor that is excellent for fresh eating, baking, and cooking.
The Spygold Apple (Malus domestica), a unique and flavorful variety, is a cross between the Northern Spy and Golden Delicious apples. Developed to combine the crisp texture and hardiness of Northern Spy with the sweet, rich flavor of Golden Delicious, Spygold has become a prized choice for growers seeking both quality and versatility
