Apples have many varieties. Common ones include: Red Fuji, Shaanxi Chunhua Qinguan, Golden Delicious, Jinshuai, Shaanxi Luochuan Gala, Liaoning Liaozhong Hanfu apple, Xinjiang Aksu honey-core apple, and so on. Among them, the Red Fuji apple, bred by hybridization in Japan, has the advantages of being storage-resistant (it can be kept refrigerated for as long as half a year), late-ripening, smooth and beautiful skin, lots of juice, a crisp texture, and high sugar content. It was first introduced to China for planting from Yantai, Shandong, and later people all over the country bought Red Fuji nursery stock and learned cultivation techniques. Now Red Fuji apples account for 65% of the country's total apple production and are the most important apple variety today. Many other apple varieties are also new varieties obtained by crossing Red Fuji, such as the Hanfu apple, and Yantai, Shandong has become the well-deserved birthplace of apples.

1. Red Fuji

The characteristic of the Fuji apple is that it is very large, red all over, and very round in shape, with an average size like a baseball. Of the fruit's weight, 9 to 11% is monosaccharides, and its flesh is dense. It is sweeter and crisper than many other apple varieties, so it is widely loved by consumers all over the world. Compared with other apples, the Fuji apple has a longer edible period and does not even need to be put in the refrigerator for storage. It can be stored at room temperature for 4 months, and if put in the refrigerator, the Fuji apple can be stored for 5 to 7 months.

2. Yellow Marshal / Golden Delicious

The fruit shape of Golden Delicious is a long conical shape, with about three fruits per jin; after ripening, the skin is golden, with a red blush on the sunny side, thin skin without rust spots, and glossy; the flesh is fine and dense, yellow-white in color, with relatively abundant juice, a deep and mellow fragrance, and a pleasant sweet-and-sour taste.

The flesh is light yellow, dense in texture, juicy, fine and crisp, sweet with a slight sourness, and very palatable. The quality is superior and it stores relatively well. Young trees bear fruit early, have a high fruit-setting rate, give high and stable yields, and are easy to manage.

4. Red General

The Red General apple is a deep-red bud sport of the early-maturing Red Fuji that experts first introduced from Japan, and it is a very excellent mid-season variety. Its taste is indeed quite outstanding. The flesh is yellow-white, slightly looser in texture than Red Fuji, sweet and crisp and refreshing, with a rich fragrance, thin skin, and lots of juice.
