About Joseph’s Apple
Around 1910, Joseph Popek migrated from Yugoslavia to America and settled on a farm near Richmond, Va. It was here that he planted an apple tree that he brought with him. The apple tree was not named and it was soon discovered that it was well adapted to the local climate. Joseph’s grandson, Phillip, saved this valuable tree and named it Jospeh. This tree is very resistant to cedar apple rust, fireblight, powdery mildew, and apple scab. The apples are large and red. The fruit is firm and moderately sweet. It is good for fresh eating, cooking, and it stores very well. Ripens in late October. (patented)
