@sadarish: apples are an exceptionally sweet, crisp, and juicy fruit variety developed in Japan in the 1930s by crossing Red Delicious and Ralls Janet apples. Shelf Life: Renowned for an exceptionally long storage life; they can last for months in a cool, dark place or refrigerator while retaining their crunch. Season: Harvested in late fall (September to November depending on the region), but available year-round due to excellent cold-storage capabilities.
