Geography/History
A fairly new American variety the Jonagold apple was first discovered in 1968 at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station. Jonagolds require mildly cool growing conditions and are not heat tolerant, something that has prevented them from having any real success as a commercial apple in the United States. They have however been extremely successful in Western Europe, particularly in Belgium where they make up approximately seventy percent of the apples grown and are responsible for making the region one of the leading apple producers in Europe.
