The Wagener apple is a large, light yellow, intensely red colored table apple with a cinnamon-like flavor. It resembles an Ontario . The skin is smooth, pliable, shiny and greasy. On sunny sides it is also striped with a few traces of rust, flamed red and with fine peel points. As soon as the apple is ripe it is a light yellow color. At first the apple is crunchy, later finely crumbly, tender, juicy and has a rosemary-like taste. It is particularly suitable for apple compote. It is usually harvested in October. The apple has a long shelf life, but is very sensitive to transport. It is ready for consumption from November to February.
