Jakob Lebel or Jacques Lebel is an old variety of the cultivated apple ( Malus domestica ).
fruit
The fruits are 6 to 7 cm high and 8 to 10 cm wide and flat and round. Their skin is initially yellowish-green, but turns yellow as they ripen with red stripes on the sunny side. The flesh is yellowish-white in color and is described as juicy and sour, but crumbly and without spice. It is therefore primarily viewed as a baking and cider apple. At the chalice the apples have broad but shallow ribs. The stem cavity is wide, but irregularly curved and occasionally rusted. The stem is short and thick.
The apples are ripe for picking from mid-September to October , but should be harvested as late as possible for fresh consumption, as this enables further quality improvement. Without proper storage, the apples will only keep until November. This variety can be kept in cold storage until January. During storage the fruits form a greasy coating.
tree
The tree has thick shoots that slope down under the fruit load. Due to the strong growth, this problem is compensated for. It is also suitable for cultivation at higher altitudes and has only low demands on the soil. Since the fruits hang rather loosely on the tree, cultivation in a sheltered location is recommended.
Since this strain is triploid , it is not suitable as a pollinator. The variety is prone to apple scab and speck .
history
The variety was found in Amiens (France) by Jacques Lebel around 1825 , which is how it got its name. It was then marketed by the Leroy Nursery from 1849. In the 1920s, Jakob Lebel was one of the three apple varieties that were chosen as imperial fruit varieties . The variety has been recorded in Rhineland-Palatinate since 1902 and is often found. Around 1900, the Edler von Leipzig variety was bred from Jakob Lebel and Ontario .
