Melrose is a well-regarded American apple, with an attractive red-flushed skin. 

Melrose is very similar to Jonathan, one of the best-flavoured American apples - and one of its parents. The other parent is Red Delicious, and its sweet flavour complements the sharper flavours of Jonathan well. 

This is a good variety if you want to grow apples for storage  - they can be kept for 3 months in a fridge, and the flavour is arguably at its best after a month or so of storage.

How to grow

Its Red Delicious parentage ensures Melrose grows vigorously and productively.

History

Melrose was developed in the late 1930s at the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, Wooster, Ohio. 

It is grown commercially on a small scale in the USA and Europe, and a number of sports exist, usually featuring better skin coloration.
