Ambrosia Apple Tree

Ambrosia is a Canadian-bred dessert apple with crisp, juicy flesh and a distinctive sweet, aromatic flavor with honey-like notes. Its bi-colored fruit is enjoyed fresh and also works in everyday recipes. ## Fruit and identity The variety was bred by Wilfrid and Sally Mennell in British Columbia; the Canadian variety record lists them as breeders. Ambrosia has relatively low acidity and can reach high soluble-sugar readings in commercial production. Rivoira’s exact-variety page describes the fruit and its cultivation and distribution rights in several regions; tree size depends on rootstock and pruning.

Apples generally need compatible pollen from another cultivar with overlapping bloom; check local guidance for a suitable partner. Prune during dormancy to maintain a balanced canopy, and monitor for common apple diseases and insects. Rootstock and training system determine the final space needed.
