'Faurot' Apple Released from the
Missouri State
Fruit Experiment Station
(A-986)
('Ben Davis' X 'Jonathan')
The
'Faurot' is less susceptible to blight than 'Jonathan'
and not subject to canker like 'Ben Davis'. The fruit resembles 'Jonathan' in
size and color. One distinguishing characteristic is a considerable number
of large, conspicuous dots. It has good quality, not quite equaling 'Jonathan' but approaching it closely. As it ripens with
'Winesap', it is much
less likely to drop prematurely in southern Missouri. The tree is a strong
grower of normal shape and produces excellent foliage and large crops of
late-keeping apples. Introduced 1935.
