Akane Apple Tree Overview

The Akane apple tree (pronounced ‘ah-kah-nay’) also goes by the name of Tokyo Rose. It is a cross between Jonathan and Worcester Pearmain. First developed in 1937 at the Morioka Experimental Station in Japan. It became widely known worldwide around 1970.

The fruit is medium in size and has bright red skin and pale white flesh. Additionally, the fruit has good eating quality with a sub-acidic flavor. The fruit ripens 42 days before Delicious, but it has poor storage quality. You can use it for fresh eating, processing, and for making juice. Moreover the Akane apple tree is resistant to scab and powdery mildew, but it is susceptible to fireblight. Additionally, it has medium vigor and produces good harvest every year. It grows well in USDA cold hardiness zones 5 to 9.
