Florina Apples

A very modern apple originating in France in the 1950s. It's popular with growers not just because of it's sweetness, but also because it is firm and ships well but is also resistant to diseases such as Fireblight, scab, and mildew. That's a win-win. More here.

Florina are a type 4 apple which means it is self-sterile. It cannot pollinate itself which is uncommon in apples. It is a known mix of Malus floribunda and Malus zumi.
