With a spicy quality, the apple is very crisp, juicy, and mildly acidic.

USDA Zones: 5–8 non-self-pollinating Bloom Time-Mid to late Disease-resistant cultivar from Purdue/Rutgers/Illinois; suited for temperate zones. The Sundancer apple tree, also known as Co-op29, was introduced in 1988 by PRI, a cooperative breeding program involving Purdue, Rutgers, and the University of Illinois. The apple was selected in 1979 from a block of seedlings created in 1973 as part of an effort to develop scab-resistant varieties. Its parentage is quite complex: it was created by cross-pollinating the experimental variety PRI 1018-101 with the experimental variety NJ50.
