Jazz is a trademarked brand of the 'Scifresh' cultivar of domesticated apple.[1]
'Scifresh' is a cross between 'Royal Gala' and Braeburn. It was developed in New Zealand as part of a collaboration between apple marketer ENZA, orchardists, and the Plant & Food Research institute. The original cross was made in 1985 on trees at Goddard Lane, Havelock North, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand.[2][3] It launched commercially in April 2004.
It is hard and crisp but juicy. The color is flushes of red and maroon over shades of green, yellow and orange.[4]
Growers produce Jazz apples under licence in New Zealand, UK, USA, Australia, France, Chile, Italy, Switzerland, and Austria.[citation needed] Grown in the northern and southern hemispheres, it is available all year round.[5]
