Blondee apple
Blondee is an early‑season, clear yellow apple discovered as a natural sport of Gala in Ohio, prized for its smooth, pale skin, firm texture, and sweet, mildly tart flavor with faint notes of honey and melon. This crisp, slow‑browning apple resists bruising, making it excellent for fresh eating, salads, and lunchboxes, and it holds beautifully in storage for several months. The fruit ripens just before Gala and hangs well on the tree for two to three weeks, offering a long picking window and reliable productivity. Trees are strong, upright, and easy to manage, with fire blight susceptibility similar to Gala. A standout yellow apple for u‑pick, fresh market, and home orchards alike, Blondee brings exceptional crunch, gentle sweetness, and dependable performance to the early fall harvest.
