In the past, there have been only a couple different kinds of apple trees, that you could buy. But now, thanks to the wonders of genetic engineering, if you want to buy an apple tree, you are able to choose between many different types of apples and flavours. Here, I will outline five different, popular types of apples, that you can consider for your first apple tree.

First introduced in Japan, the Fuji apple has been around since 1962. The Fuji apple has a yellow-green skin, with red streaks down the side. The inside is delicious and sweet. It is white, firm, crunchy, and very flavourful. It becomes ripe in the middle of September, but tastes the best, if it is left to fully mature, until October, or November. These apples will start growing early and they will grow in abundance. They are good for pollinating other apples. The Fuji tree can tolerate wet, dry, or poor soils, but the fruit quality will most likely reflect the quality of the soil. The apples always taste the best, when they are fresh and are great for cooking.

Gala apples are a wonderful tasting import, from New Zealand. The Gala apple has a yellow skin, with a slight hint of red and it is medium sized. The insides are yellow, very juicy, firm, crisp and smell excellent. When they are fresh, they are one of the best tasting apples, you can grow. They grow quickly and the trees bear heavily. They become ripe in late July. They are generally not used for cooking, just because Fuji is a better alternative. The trees can grow in wet, dry and poor soils, as well.

The delicious Brae Burn apples’ colour varies from gold with red streaks, to almost completely red. It was first popularized, some time in the late 1940’s. It was also originally from New Zealand, along with the Fuji and is now the best selling apple in Germany. The insides are white, crisp, aromatic, firm and juicy. They are sweet, but also slightly tart. The size varies from medium, to large. They were introduced to the United States, around 1980 and met with great enthusiasm. They are some of the most popular apples in the world. They generally don’t become brown too quickly, after being cut. They become ripe around October, or November.  

As red as it’s name implies, the Red Delicious apple is very tall and large. Their yellow insides are crisp, sweet, juicy and delicious. They are grown across the country and are great to put in salads. They are usually recognized by their distinct heart shape. They were first introduced, in 1874, in Peru, Iowa. They become ripe in mid to late September. They are usually best, when they are fresh off the tree.

Golden Delicious apples have great, juicy flavour. Their insides are firm, white, crisp and sweet. They are great for cooking, because even when they are cooked, or baked they keep their great taste and shape. The skin is thin and soft. They are great for salads. They range in size, from medium, to large. They are shaped much like the red delicious apple. The insides are crisp, juicy, sweet,, and mild. Many people enjoy them, although they bruise rather easily. They become ripe in late September. They are good for many purposes,, and they last a long time, if not handled roughly.
