description
The medium-sized apples are round, flattened and often built somewhat irregularly. Their dimensions are given as 68 to 78 mm wide and 50 to 60 mm high. The smooth, glossy shell has a yellowish-green color and on the sunny side has a striped to faded, intensely light red, rarely dark red covering color. Fine brown peel points are distributed in different numbers over the peel. The flesh is yellowish-white, sweet to spicy and moderately juicy. The apples have a weak smell. The stem sits in a wide, medium-deep cavity that is often rusty .
The fruits are ripe for picking from mid-September to the end of October and are suitable for consumption from December to around April-May.
use
The tree grows slowly and forms a large, even, spherical crown. It also thrives on poor soils and at high altitudes at risk of frost. The tree bears abundantly and is resistant to disease and pests. The variety is not recommended as a base . It is diploid and a good pollen donor. It blooms very late, noticeably later than most other apple varieties and is therefore popularly known as the dormouse . In Central Hesse there is a regional apple variety of the same name , which, however, is not identical to the Red Bellefleur.
The variety can be used as an industrial apple and table apple .
Breeds and History
The origin of the variety is believed to be in Holland . The variety was described as early as 1760. The variety is very common in Rhineland-Palatinate .
