Arkansas black apples. We had 5 but ate one, not the best but edible. I’m going to put these away in the fridge for a while. We picked these off my Enterprise tree on Saturday along with around 50 Enterprise apples. Most were flawless and will be stored. Going to make sauce with the ones with marks.

Looks good. Heard they keep a long time.
But Melrose is probably the best.

Are you sure thats a Jonagold ? They aren’t yellow. Mine were always oversized and red with some green, maybe a hint of yellow.

Do you think this is Golden delicious?

Quite possibly, based only on its appearance. How would you describe the taste and texture?

Hi! It’s crunchy and not very sweet but very balanced acid/sweet
Thank’s!
Interesting. A ripe GD is often quite sweet with a honey-like flavor component, but they don’t tend to be especially crunchy in my experience. If picked a little green, your description might sound more accurate, but the ones in your photo look pretty ripe to me. Of course, California isn’t Portugal, so a GD grown there might well be a bit different.

They have some differences. At least with those we buy here. They are pale yellow, a bit blush and just a bit russet on top and don’t have the sweetness of golden delicious.
There is a yellow jonagold, but it is rare. Maybe you have one.

Hi! It’s good to know… by the photos do you think my apples are jonagold?
They are like this… they are round, pale yellow, small blush and very small russet on top.
My Jonagold were huge apples. Oversized for an apple you could make a large pie with only two. I have never seen a yellow Jonagold in person I just know they exist from reading. There are many varieties of Jonagold.

Thank’s! For now i think they are yellow jonagold apples because they are different than GD and they are very similar of those in pic.
They are great apples even if they are not jonagold.

Unlike Golden Delicious, they have a lot of red color.
