Fuji Apples

The Fuji apple is an apple developed by growers at the Tohoku Research Station in Fujisaki, Japan. It originated as a cross between two American apple varieties—the Red Delicious and old Virginia Ralls Genet. Contrary to popular opinion, it is named for the town of Fujisaki, not for Mount Fuji.
They have a dense flesh that is sweeter and crisper than many other apple varieties and also have a very long shelf life compared to other apples, even without refrigeration. With refrigeration, Fuji apples can remain fresh for up to a year.
