Chehalis Apple

The Chehalis Apple (Malus domestica ‘Chehalis’) is a heritage apple variety valued for its large fruit, reliable production, and classic appeal. It features smooth pale yellow to golden skin and firm, cream-colored flesh with a mild, gently sweet flavor and low acidity, making it ideal for baking, cooking, and applesauce. Originating in the Pacific Northwest, this hardy and productive tree performs well in a wide range of climates; however, it requires a compatible pollinator—such as another mid-season flowering apple variety—to ensure proper fruit set, making it a great addition to mixed home orchards and heritage plantings.
