List of apple varieties |
The 'Horneburger Pfannkuchen' , also known as 'Horneburger', is a table apple variety from Horneburger Marschdamm and was the orchard variety of the year 2016 in Northern Germany . The 'Horneburger pancake' came about as a chance seedling and was discovered by the fruit farmer Jacob Köpke around 1840 and propagated in Neuenkirchen . Other sources describe an emergence around 1875 also on the Lower Elbe from seeds of ' Riesenboiken ' and a scattered distribution in Austria , especially in higher altitudes.
The 'Horneburger pancake' used to be widespread in the Lower Elbe and the neighboring areas. In 1939 it was in the top spot in an Altländer harvest statistics.
Variety characteristics
The fruit of the 'Horneburger pancake' is large (70–100 mm) and often irregular. The fruit is ribbed around the flower . The skin is smooth to slightly rough and mostly green. In the further course the peel turns slightly yellow with a red overlay. The flesh is firm and sour at first. The pulp becomes milder with storage. It is therefore considered to be a good baking and mousse apple. It is ready to be picked in October. It is ready for consumption between November and March.
The 'Horneburger Pancake' is very robust and vigorous. It grows on boggy locations. It is triploid , so it is not a pollen donor . When it comes to soil and air humidity, the 'Horneburg Pancake' has high standards. It therefore fails in dry climates and locations and suffers from powdery mildew there .
