Malus domestica 'Hudson's Golden Gem'

It was discovered as a fence row seedling at the Hudson Nursery in Tangent, Oregon, about 1931. Because of its brownish color and elongated shape, it was originally marketed as a pear. One of the tastiest russetted apples, the flesh is crisp and sweet, and the flavor is nutty and refreshing.

It is productive, annual bearing and somewhat scab - and mildew - resistant. The medium-sized fruit will hang on the tree well into winter. Good keeper. Ripens late October.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Hi, I'm interested in purchasing a Hudson's Golden Gem tree. I live in Seattle, and I do not have any other apple trees. There are some other apple trees within 100 yards, though. How close does the pollination helper tree need to be, and could you recommend a couple varieties for our climate?

    That is close enough, but you will need to have cross pollination via compatible bloom times. Check out our Apple Growing Guide for a full pollination explaination and chart.
