Monty's Surprise™ is among the most nutritious of all apple varieties. The very large, attractive fruits are juicy and flavorful with a citrus like aftertaste. It's a late ripener and among our best keeping varieties. The flesh has extraordinary amounts of phytonutrients, and the skin has the highest levels of beneficial flavonoids of any apple. Monty's Surprise™ apples have demonstrated an ability to suppress the growth of colon cancer cells better than any other apple variety, according to a study by the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research. Read more about Monty's Surprise™ in Jo Robinson's wonderful book Eating on the Wild Side. It was Jo Robinson who alerted us to the exceptional qualities of this fruit, wanting to find a source. It originated in New Zealand and was only available in that country, so in 2011 we initiated the process of importing a stick of scionwood to introduce it in the United States. The USDA kept it in quarantine for several years to ensure that it is free of all diseases and insects. We are pleased to finally make these trees available to US customers! $1.00 from each sale will be returned to New Zealand to help fund the Tree Crops Research Trust.
