Do Fuji Apple Trees Grow in Georgia?

Fuji apples are late-season apples usually ready for harvest in late September to early October. Fuji apples are grown in central and northern parts of Georgia, according to the University of Georgia.

Fuji Apples

Fuji apples are firm with a yellowish green tint with reddish highlights. However, some apples can be all red or have a pinkish coloring. The whitish flesh of the Fuji apple is good for baking and eating.

Pollination

Fuji apple trees should be planted near red delicious apple trees, Ozark gold, Mutzu or Granny Smith apple trees for pollination.

Zones

The University of Georgia divides the state into five zones for growing apple trees. Fuji apples can be grown in three of these zones, which cover the northern and central parts of the state. Zones 1, 2 and 3 are the ideal locations in Georgia to plant and grow Fuji trees. These zones include Macon, Gainesville and Blue Ridge, with Macon being the furthest central city for zone 3 and Blue Ridge being the furthest northern city for zone 1.
