Ambrosia (apple)

Ambrosia (apple)

Ambrosia is a cultivar of apple originating in British Columbia in the early 1980s. It is medium to large in size and has mostly red coloration, with yellow patches. It has cream-colored meat with a sweet, crisp, aromatic flavor and low acidity. Ambrosia trees are hardy and no major disadvantages have yet been identified.

The Ambrosia strain was first cultivated by the Mennell family of Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, who discovered the apple growing in their orchard.
