Cameo Apple Tree

OUR STORY

Nature’s Happy Accident. Your Orchard’s Next Star. Plant the Cameo Apple Tree Today! In 1987, the Caudle family stumbled upon a miracle in their Dryden, Washington orchard—a chance seedling growing right between their Red Delicious and Golden Delicious trees. Originally named Carousel, this accidental cross inherited the absolute best traits of both parents, quickly rising to become an award-winning favorite among growers and chefs alike. Unforgettable Flavor & Crispness Bite through Cameo’s delicate, red-striped skin into dense, creamy-white flesh bursting with sweet-tart perfection. Every crisp, aromatic bite delivers subtle hints of honey, bright citrus, and Asian pear. Even better, its flesh naturally resists browning after slicing—keeping your snacks looking as fresh as they taste.
