Jonathan

A Hyslop Crab Apple ready to be picked at McDougal Orchards

Harvest in Mid September

About the Jonathan apple

The Jonathan apple was first discovered in 1826 as chance seedling on the farm of Philip Rick in Woodstock, New York. Thought to be a seedling of Esopus Spitzenburg, this American heirloom variety was once one of the most important comercially-produced apples in the U.S. It has since lost popularity, but is a parent to many newer varieties such as Jonagold.

McDougal Orchards grows Jonathan apples. Located only 45 minutes from Portland, ME and 1.5 hours from Boston, MA, McDougal Orchards is easy to get to.
