Chinook Apple Bareroot
History:Â Chinook was developed at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre in Summerland, BC as a cross between Splendour and Gala. It was released in 2000 but despite its many great features, the smaller size of the fruit has likely held it back from commercial success.
Why We Grow It:Â The saying 'big things come in small packages' holds true for Chinook. Although the fruit is on the smaller side, it boasts a lovely red skin, excellent sweet-tart flavour, a nice aroma, and crisp and juicy flesh. Fans of this variety will be happy to hear that the fruit can be enjoyed well through the winter, it is an excellent keeper and can last 6-7 months in storage. On top of that the tree grows fairly vigorously, starts bearing fruit at a young age, and produces heavy crops (although thinning will be required).
