Harberts Renette is an old cultivar of the cultivated apple ( Malus domestica ), which belongs to the group of golden renettes .

history

The origin of the variety is not known for sure, it was probably created in a monastery in Westphalia. It was first described in 1828 by Adrian Diel as Harbert's Reinettenartiger Rambour . It had received it from the former Westphalian land pfennig master Carl Ludwig Anton Maria Harbert from Arnsberg . From 1830 onwards Harbert ensured the spread of the variety, in 1857 it was recommended for general cultivation by the Assembly of German Pomologists in Gotha. The Harberts Renette was 2007 fruit variety of the year of the Verband der Gartenbauvereine Saarland-Pfalz e. V.

Harbert is buried in the Eichholzfriedhof in Arnsberg. It is customary for some apples to be placed on the grave of the grower every All Saints Day . After the apple variety was forgotten in Arnsberg, a tree with Harberts Renette was replanted in 1993 on the initiative of Karl Föster in the garden of the former Landpfennigmeisterhaus in Hallenstraße .

tree

Harberts Renette is one of the fastest growing apple varieties, it forms a broad crown. As a high trunk it is well suited for orchards , but it can also be cultivated as a half trunk . It can take several years for the fruit to begin to yield.

The tree tolerates heavy and light soils equally. When dry, the fruits fall off easily. Harberts Renette is also suitable for cooler growing areas up to heights of around 500 m. It can be planted on paths and streets.

fruit

The tasty fruit is medium-sized, its widest point is slightly shifted towards the stem. The skin is smooth and shiny, but not greasy. In October it is still greenish yellow, later yellow and marbled light red on the sunny side. The flesh is yellowish white, juicy and crumbly, the taste is tart and tangy.

The fruit is ripe for picking in mid-October and ripe for consumption in December. Wilhelm Lauche classified Harbert's Renette as “excellent fruit for the table and economy” and compared it with the Orleansrenette , which, however, does not quite achieve the taste.
