Availability
This apple should be available for sale towards the end of October. It is our "December Apple of the Month" and is available to pre-order under the “Monthly Apples” menu.

Flavor, Texture, Usage
Of the newer apple varieties, many consumers think Fuji is the best apple grown. This apple has all the attributes that make it a great apple . . . it's sweet to eat, crisp and juicy in salads or on fruit trays and best of all, holds up exceptionally well for baking in pies and cobblers. Fuji apples should keep for weeks in garages and other protected unheated places during the winter months, but we suggest all apples to be refrigerated.

History
Fuji's history is pure American. It is a cross of Red Delicious and Ralls Janet. The Ralls Janet apple was grown in central Virginia for many years. Some say Thomas Jefferson, an avid orchardist, introduced the Ralls apple to Virginia, after his tenure as Ambassador to France.

How much fruit comes in a box?
Our fruit boxes come in 2 sizes, approximately 10lb and 20lb. Our 10lb box has between 16 and 20 apples, depending on the size of the apples and the 20lb box contains between 36 and 40 apples, also depending on the size of the apples.

A Word from Mother Nature on Shipping
Please note, that because we are dealing with a product of nature, we reserve the right to allow up to 2 weeks, to process an order. If your order needs to be delayed for any reason, we will notify you. We typically ship apples on Mondays and Tuesdays to avoid the shipment being held at a depot over the weekend. On some occasions, if we know that FedEx can deliver in less than 3 days, we may ship your order on Wednesdays.
