Calville
As Calville or Kalvill a series of fine-tasting, often sweet is apple varieties referred to in the 19th century to the noblest and most popular dessert apples counted. Among the different breeds, some were named "Real Calville" and "Rose Calville". JM Kohler (1864) counts them among the glossy cleansers , while Hinkert's Systematisches Handbuch der Pomologie (1865) assigns them to the first class of apple varieties or to the cantäpfeln . They are ideal for gardens , but "not suitable for open fields", as they are partly edible from the tree, partly "too attractive from the outside and only achieve their quality in built garden areas". The trees are best grown as a half or low trunk.
The Calville has a loose, spicy pulp . It is usually smaller than other apple varieties, with a slightly ribbed shape and a fine skin that becomes a little greasy during storage. As an autumn apple it is predominantly yellow or reddish, as a winter apple it is usually lighter (white-yellow) or flamed red. The peel can become wrinkled after long periods of storage, but this does not affect the taste.
Most of the varieties are suitable as a half trunk , only a few as a standard trunk . They used to be used as trellises - especially in allotments . Some (e.g. English calvilla ) were also planted on orchards . Today, Calville varieties are rarely found in stores, and some are even endangered species.
