Wilton’s Star (Red Jonaprince Select) turns red to dark red when ripe. The apple has white to golden-yellow flesh that is relatively firm.
The flavor is aromatic with a fine balance of sweetness and just the right acidity. The taste is at its best after a day at room temperature and has a character that is slightly reminiscent of pear. Wilton’s Star is a true dessert apple that can be eaten fresh, used in salads, pies, or other baked goods.
Wilton’s Star is one of our best-keeping varieties and can even be stored until August under proper storage conditions. Apples are best stored in the refrigerator at +2/4 °C.
