A chance seedling discovered in a British Columbia orchard in the early 1990’s, Ambrosia has since become a beloved fresh eating apple for its great balance of sweet and tart and unique honey flavor, that some even say tastes like vanilla. A naturally compact and upright growing tree, Ambrosia also shows good disease resistance and is an excellent choice in cool coastal climates but is also well adapted to inland climates.
