The company noted in a press release that, for Gleason and its growers, raising Autumn Glory trees has been a journey of finding the perfect variety.
“One that works for the growers from farm all the way to the finish line,” Gleason said of Autumn Glory. “We look for a variety that is easy to grow, productive, grows to the right size, is attractive and catches the eye, and an apple that consistently gives the right eating experience.”
