Jonathan (apple)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Image:Malus-Jonathan.jpg The Jonathan apple is a medium-sized apple, sweet and full of acidity, with a tough but smooth skin. It is closely related to the Esopus Spitzenburg apple.
It originated in 1826 from farm of Philip Rick in Woodstock, Ulster County, New York. Believed to be an Esopus Spitzenburg seedling. Described 1826. Although it may have originally been called the "Rick apple," it was soon renamed by Judge Buel, President of Albany Horticultural Society, after Jonathan Hasbrouck, who discovered the apple and brought it to Buel's attention.
