Overview

Suitable for both eating and cooking, this new apple variety was first introduced in Germany in 2005, and what sets it apart from most of the other apples is its distinctive reddish-pink flesh. This is mildly aromatic, has a crisp texture and a good balance of flavour. The apples are ready to harvest in September, and you can eat them straight off the tree, or use them to make red juice. They will also add a touch of colour to tarts and salads.

Specifications

  • Position: full sun
  • Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
  • Rate of growth: fast-growing
  • Ultimate size on MM106 rootstock: 4 x 4m (12 x 12ft)
  • Flowering Period: April to May
  • Hardiness: fully hardy
  • Pollination Group: this apple belongs to pollination group 3 (flowering late season)

Care guide

Keep the base of the tree weed free, fertilise at the beginning of each year and water regularly during hot, dry spells. Remove damaged or crossing branches during the dormant season. Pollination Information: This apple belongs to pollination group 3, so you will need to plant one other different variety of apple to guarantee cross pollination, and a subsequent bumper crop. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group, however it is possible to use one from group 2 or 4 as well.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Bare root plants are either wrapped in plastic bags or waxed paper where possible and then placed into a cardboard box.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
