origin
The variety probably came to England from France. German pomologists discovered it in the 19th century and mistakenly translated the name Reinette des Hospitaux (from England) into English Spitalrenette. According to other information in the Illustrirten Handbuch der Obstkunde of 1859, the name arose from the incorrect translation of the breeding site Sykehouse as Sicke-House in infirmary and thus ultimately hospital or hospital.
tree
The tree is strong at the beginning, but only becomes medium-sized. The variety is suitable for all tree shapes, including trellises .
