Rising Sun Fuji®
Gilmer cv.
A beautiful new, early Fuji selection that ripens 5 to 6 weeks ahead of regular Fuji, Rising Sun Fuji® colors to a beautiful 70 to 80% bright pinkish-red blush with a brighter, smoother finish than other early Fuji's. This variety has the mild, sweet Fuji flavor that consumers love, with creamy white flesh and that great Fuji crunch.
Rising Sun Fuji® has a typical Fuji tree and growth habit with the same disease resistance as regular Fuji. As with other Fuji cultivars, we recommend a preventative spray program for Fireblight and early, thorough thinning. Rising Sun Fuji® was discovered as a limb sport by Chuck Gilmer of Augusta, MI.
