SB 1200 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act designating the apple as the official fruit of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

SB 1200 designates the apple as the official fruit of Pennsylvania. The bill, effective immediately, recognizes the apple's agricultural significance through findings on Pennsylvania's status as the nation's fourth-largest apple producer and its widespread cultivation across all 67 counties. It specifically highlights historical apple varieties developed in the state, such as Nittany, Smokehouse, Jefferies, and York Imperial. This symbolic designation does not create new regulations or affect any specific groups, but formally acknowledges the fruit's cultural and economic role in Pennsylvania.
