fruit
The evenly shaped fruit is medium-sized (approx. 5–6 cm high and 6–7 cm wide), has a dry (not fatty) skin with initially green-yellow, with increasing ripeness pale-golden-yellow base color and red, striped top color. The yellow-white flesh is firm at first, but becomes crumbly as it ripens and is juicy and has a sweet and aromatic taste.
Ribston Pepping is a winter apple , it is ripe for picking in mid to late October and ready to eat from December to February / March.
tree
The medium-strong tree quickly forms wide crowns and is suitable for all forms of training. With regard to the location, it has high demands - it requires nutrient-rich and deep soil and prefers a coastal climate with high humidity and mild winters. Its high location requirements mean that it can hardly be found in commercial cultivation. It is also prone to powdery mildew .
The triploid variety is a poor pollen donor.
