Where Ambrosia comes from
Ambrosia is a chance seedling. The Mennell family found it in a block of Jonagold trees in the Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, Canada. The find dates from around the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, and the Okanagan Plant Improvement Corporation registered the cultivar in the early 1990s.
The parents of the cultivar are unknown. Ambrosia is a club cultivar: the name is a trademark, and a US patent was filed in the late 1990s.
Fruit and harvest window
The fruit is medium to large and glossy red, with yellow patches on the skin. The flesh is firm, juicy and cream-coloured; the taste is mild and sweet with a pear-like note, and acidity is low. The flesh browns slowly once cut.
Harvest is mid-to-late season: in British Columbia the crop is picked around mid-September. The date in your orchard depends on the weather that year, so go by fruit maturity, not by the calendar.

Fruit storage
Ambrosia stores well in controlled-atmosphere (CA) rooms and produces little ethylene. The storage period in months depends on the room regime, so agree it with whoever will store the crop.
Ambrosia in a commercial orchard
The mild sweet taste, low acidity and slow browning of the flesh put Ambrosia among cultivars for the fresh market. The trade desk will help match pollinizers to your planting scheme before you size the lot.
If you need an earlier red cultivar, compare it with Gala Royal, which is picked ahead of Golden Delicious. Check whether zone Z5–Z8 covers your territory on the supply by region page.
Z5–Z8 is the range of USDA zones, defined by minimum winter temperature, that the tree is rated for. The scale ignores season length, spring frosts and humidity, so make the final choice on data for your own territory.
