Nova Easygro apples

Nova Easygro is a Canadian apple variety that was introduced in 1971 in Nova Scotia as a cross between Spartan and PRI 565 varieties. These apples are large and have a green to yellow background with reddish stripes. Beneath the skin, the texture of the flesh is crisp, juicy, and firm, while the flavor is sweet.

When first picked, in late fall, the apples are slightly tough, but their tenderness develops in storage. It’s recommended to use Nova Easygro as dessert apples. These apples appeared on the market about the same time as apples with catchier names such as Liberty, Freedom, and McIntosh, hence their lower popularity with buyers and consumers.
