Ambrosia on the tree

Ambrosia

This apple is a homegrown original and we’re pretty proud of it around here. It was discovered by the Mennells in the 1990s in Cawston B.C. as a chance seedling. No one really knows its parentage. The original orchard was full of Jonagolds and had previously been home to both Golden Delicious and Red Delicious trees.
