Apple 'Discovery'

Apple 'Discovery' is a popular dessert variety with a fine, sweet flavor reminiscent of strawberries. Although it is commonly found in supermarkets, it has a limited storage potential of only a few weeks, so it is best eaten fresh from the tree. Any extra fruits can be pressed to make a tasty juice. This early variety matures in late August and consistently produces high yields. This cultivar is not self-fertile. It is best grown with another variety for the heaviest crops. If you only have room for one tree, make sure a neighbor has a tree nearby that can serve as a pollinator.
