Enterprise Apples

Enterprise Apples are medium to large-sized with smooth, somewhat tough, thick skin that is a glossy red over a yellow or greenish-yellow background.

The finely-textured flesh is pale yellow, crisp, firm and juicy.

Best used as a fresh-eating apple.

Storage Hints

Tart when first harvested, but flavour mellows with storage. Stores well.

History Notes

Development started in 1982 at Purdue University. Released and named in 1992.

Language Notes

The name was partly chosen because the “pri” in it denotes the Purdue-Rutgers-Illinois cooperative apple breeding program that developed the apple.
