Pacific Queen™ Apple

A variety of apple that is a result of the same Gala / Splendour cross as is Pacific Rose and also originated in New Zealand. Pacific Queen is darker red in color, has a higher sugar level and ripens earlier than Pacific Rose, but is similar in taste, providing a sweet, crisp inner flesh. This apple is often compared to the Fuji in flavor and is good for eating out of hand or for use in fruit salads.
