The Ausbacher Rote is an old cultivar of the cultivated apple ( Malus domestica ), which is native to the area around Hohenroda in the Rhön . Other common names are Roter Ausbacher and Rotapfel .
description
The variety has also proven itself under less good growing conditions. It is undemanding and also thrives on shallow soils. Valleys with moist soils and drafty, cool altitudes are also suitable locations; the susceptibility to diseases and pests is low.
The trees are vigorous and form large, upright, later more broad crowns. After a construction cut, only a small maintenance cut is necessary.
The yield starts mid-late. The trees then bear plenty and bad harvests are very rare. The fruit is stormproof.
use
It was used as a high-quality commercial and must variety , although the taste properties are no longer sufficient from today's perspective.
The variety is probably a poor pollen donor , as triploid pollen is usually not suitable for fertilization.
