Zuccalmaglios Renette (actually from Zuccalmaglios Renette , mostly just Zuccalmaglio ) denotes a cultivar of the cultivated apple ( Malus domestica ).
history
The Grevenbroich engineer Diedrich Uhlhorn jun. (1843–1915), not to be confused with his grandfather of the same name, the inventor Diedrich Uhlhorn (1764–1837), bred the apple from an attempt to cross a pineapple renette and purple agate apple in 1878 and named this new noble variety after his father-in-law Vinzenz Jakob von Zuccalmaglio .
The fruit
The fruits of the Zuccalmaglios Renette are small to medium-sized, round to ovoid, 6–7 cm in size. Tapered on the calyx side, flattened on the stem side. Stems woody, thin and usually short. Greenish-yellow skin, after-ripened lemon-yellow, washed-out yellow-red on the sunny side. The pulp is yellowish-white, juicy, aromatic with a harmonious sugar-acid ratio. Harvest time is late, from the end of October to the beginning of November, and because of the long consumption period from November to March, it is an excellent winter apple.
The tree
The growth of the tree is weak, insensitive to pests and diseases. Satisfactory harvests, however, can only be expected on good soils that are abundantly supplied with water and nutrients. The tree also needs regular pruning. Thinning out the fruits makes sense because of the large number of fruits. Otherwise the fruits will remain too small. Recommended for the home garden, today of no importance in commercial fruit growing.
