The Ginger Gold® apple tree is well known not only for its unique flavor, but also for being a great choice as an eating apple due to its juicy and spicy honeyed taste. In fact, Ginger Gold® has an interesting origin story.  In 1969, hurricane Camille led to flooding across Nelson County in Virginia where Clyde and Frances Ginger Harvey had their apple orchard. After the flooding, they discovered a new variety unike the ones they grew. After that, genetic analysis showed a new variety formed from Golden Delicious, Albermarle Pippin and a third cultivar. While called Harveylicious in the beginning, it later became Ginger Gold®. It’s a popular variety for orchardists in North America and Europe. In fact, the US Apple Association deems it the 15th most popular apple variety in the United States.
