The boiken apple is a variety of the cultivated apple . The Boikenapfel belongs to the Gulderling family and is not related to the Riesenboikenapfel and the Neuhauser Boikenapfel .
As a tree it grows moderately, forms a very high, flat arched crown. The variety is prone to scab and cancer, but thrives all the better at suitable altitudes.
The flesh is snow-white, initially firm, fine and juicy, with a pleasantly spicy, tartar taste.
Lineage and Distribution
This apple was widespread in the area around Bremen and is said to have been named after a previous Deichvoigt Boike.
Johann Georg Conrad Oberdieck drew attention to this variety in Berlin as early as 1860, but it was not until Trier (1874) that the German pomologists' association included it among the 50 recommended varieties.
Expectations
The Boiken thrives in all types of soil and in every location. Due to its late flowering, it is less sensitive to late frosts.
