Fuji apples are typically round and range from large to very large, averaging 75 mm in diameter.

Fuji apples 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.

Fuji apples now account for 80% of China's 20 million tons grown annually.

Many sports (mutant cultivars) of the Fuji apple have been recognized and propagated.
