Enterprise (apple)
Enterprise (apple) is a variety of apple that is known for its late maturation and long storage life. It was developed by the Purdue University, Rutgers University, and University of Illinois cooperative breeding program in 1978.
Description[edit | edit source]
The Enterprise apple is medium to large in size and has a round to slightly elongated shape. The skin is thick and glossy, with a deep red to almost purple color. The flesh is firm, crisp, and juicy, with a slightly tart flavor. The apple is resistant to many diseases, including apple scab, fire blight, and cedar apple rust, making it a popular choice for organic growers.
Cultivation[edit | edit source]
The Enterprise apple tree is a vigorous grower and begins bearing fruit at a young age. It is a triploid variety, meaning it requires two different apple varieties nearby for successful pollination. The tree is hardy and can withstand cold winters, making it suitable for growing in northern climates. The apples are typically harvested in late October to early November and can be stored for up to six months.
Uses[edit | edit source]
Due to its firm texture and slightly tart flavor, the Enterprise apple is excellent for cooking and baking. It holds its shape well when cooked, making it ideal for pies, tarts, and sauces. It is also a good apple for eating fresh, especially for those who prefer a tart apple.
