Yesterday we had our first matchup of the BCI apple tournament, and after a tight race the whole day, in the end No. 8 Jazz held off a resilient No. 9 Golden Delicious to advance to the next round to take on the No. 1 seed in the tournament.
Now we move on to the No. 5/No. 12 matchup:
No. 5 Fuji
v.
No. 12 Red Delicious
Fuji was right on the cusp of having a first round bye but barely missed out. However, this will be an apple to be reckoned with in the tournament, A mix between Ralls Janet and Red Delicious (coincidentally), Fuji has a sweet taste that is not overbearing and texture that doesn’t get in the way of the apple.
Red Delicious is the most popular apple brand in America, much to the chagrin of apple enthusiasts. If you ant to know why, just read this piece in The Atlantic.
Will Fuji cruise on to take on the No. 4 seed, or will Red Delicious mount an improbable upset? Vote below! As a reminder, if you are using Google AMP or Apple News, the poll won’t show up, so please use a browser.
