Between 1978 and 1985, the percentage of trees planted which were varieties other than ‘Delicious’ rose gradually from about 20% to over 40%. In 1985, the acres devoted to varieties other than ‘Delicious’ was less than 25% of the total. The principal other varieties were ‘Golden Delicious, ‘Newtown,’ ‘Granny Smith,’ ‘Rome Beauty,’ ‘Winesap,’ and “others.’ The acreage of those “others” totaled less than ‘Rome’ acreage, and was quite minor. Those other varieties were: ‘Jonathan,’ ‘Akane,’ and still “others.” Two new varieties, ‘Gala’ and ‘Fuji,’ are especially in demand. Planting of ‘Jonagold’ appears to have peaked and is declining. ‘Jonagola‘ is apparently too sensitive to sunburn and breakdown in hot weather.
