A highly flavored, late-season dessert apple, perfect for organic production.
Hawaii Apple Scionwood (Spring 2026)
A pineapple-flavored gourmet dessert apple.
This is a medium sized, vigorous, upright-spreading tree with wide crotch angles that will need diligent pruning to maintain annual bearing. It is susceptible to scab and bitter pit, but resistant to cedar-apple rust.
A medium-to-large apple, Hawaii has a waxy yellow skin that is often overlaid with a pretty pinkish flush. Its parents were thought to be Golden Delicious and Gravenstein.a. DNA testing has indentified Golden Delicious and Delicious as Hawaii's parents, and certainly it has the appearance of a Golden Delicious. The flesh is breaking and very sweet. Tom Burford (Apples of North America) writes that a distinct pineapple flavor develops when the tree is grown in California and other western states. Here in NY, we too found distinct tropical notes.
This cross of Golden Delicious and Gravenstein was made in 1945 by William Silva of Sebastopol, California. Hawaii was released commercially in 1963.
