List of apple varieties

The double hardling , also known as hardling , is an old apple variety. It was first described by Engelbrecht in 1889 and is now recommended as a fruit variety for orchards in North Rhine-Westphalia. Since May 1999 it has been in the "Leaf for Plant Varieties" of the Federal Plant Variety Office .

tree

The tree is of medium growth and forms large pyramidal crowns. The flowering is medium early, diploid and therefore a good pollinator. It does not make any special demands on soil and location.

fruit

The fruit is medium-sized, broadly rounded, conical or broadly rounded, tapering towards the calyx. Irregularly round in cross-section or slightly rounded - angular. The base color of the peel is yellowish green after harvest and cloudy yellow after storage. The body color is vermilion, dark red to brownish red. The type of coloring is briefly striped or marbled and like a wash. The skin is smooth and also greasy after storage. The flesh is yellowish to greenish-yellowish-white, somewhat coarse-celled, soon floury when stored. The taste is sweet, without acidity and with a low juice content, without any special aroma.

use

The double hardling is ready to be picked around mid-September. This large commercial apple with a high yield is used for the production of "fine, sweet apple cabbage " in the Bergisches Land .
