List of apple varieties |
The red Trier wine apple is a variety of the cultivated apple ( Malus domestica). He was found in the area of Trier ( chance seedling ). There it is also known under the name 'Roter Holzapfel' or 'Roter Trier'scher Holzapfel'. However, its origin is unclear. It is a variety of orchards . It is especially common in southwest Germany.
fruit
The apple is harvested in October and is ready to eat from November to March. The small fruits, about 6 cm in diameter, have a firm, very juicy and sour pulp and are used exclusively as cider apples .
tree
The tree delivers a high yield, early and then regularly. A strong cut is recommended during the construction phase in order to counteract the bending of the branches. This property possibly leads to the different representations of the growth strength in the literature: While H. Petzold classifies the growth as medium strong, the panels from the illustrated weekly newspaper come to a strong and pyramidal growth. The variety is frost-resistant and not prone to fruit tree cancer . However, there is a susceptibility to scab .
