Davis Red Jonagold
The Davis Red apple was found as a red apple growing on a Karmijn de Sonneville tree by Bill Davis some 15 years ago. Thinking it may be a red sport of Karmijn, it was grafted onto a McIntosh tree and produced very large, deeply red, all red fruit. Intrigued, it was sent to Washington State University for DNA typing and found to be a Jonagold. As the Davis Red is solid red, and larger than our other Jonagolds, we have labeled this variety as a Davis Red Jonagold.
