Only released in 2000, Jumbo (Malus domestica 'Jumbo) is the result of a cross between the apple varieties Red Charles Ross x Tetraploid Jonathan. The apples are particularly attractive, being flushed and striped red on a pale green background with a deep red blush and attractive red flecks. Golden cream flesh. The apples are very large and dual purpose, being particularly good for baking as they retain their colour. For eating fresh they have a good acidic, aromatic flavour. Tree vigour is moderately strong.
