About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A Dutch cross between ‚Elstar' and the scab resistant ‚Priscilla' that combines the fresh Elstar aroma with Vf scab resistance. It is considered well tolerated by many people with an apple intolerance and can be grown in the home garden without sprays. Ready to pick from mid September, it keeps for a few weeks in cool storage.
Juicy and fresh with a lively balance of sweetness and acidity that recalls ‚Elstar'. Crisp straight from the tree, it also makes an aromatic juice.
