As you might expect, Fuji comes from Japan, where it was developed in the 1940s, but its parentage is all American. Fuji is a cross between the widely grown Red Delicious, and Ralls Janet, which is much less well known but is probably the reason for Fuji's attractive pink flush.

Its main characteristic is the lovely pink speckled flush over a yellow-green background. It is also crisp and juicy, with dull white flesh which snaps cleanly. The flavor is predominantly sweet, very refreshing (especially if slightly chilled), but not particularly outstanding.

Fuji accounts for more than 70% of apple production in China. China is now the biggest single apple growing region.
