Berner Rosenapfel

Sabor

Sensibilidad y resistencia

Polinización

autoestéril (necesita una variedad polinizadora)

En tercios de mes (principio / mitad / final) para el hemisferio norte en clima templado; la altitud y el año los desplazan.

Fruto

Dessert and culinary apple, mildly aromatic, sweet-sour and slightly perfumed (rating 2-).

Crecimiento

Initially medium-vigorous, later weak-growing. Crown upright and rounded, medium-sized and often drooping; scaffold branches obliquely upright, later hanging. Fruiting wood on one- and multi-year spurs and especially long shoots, hence a risk of early ageing. Wind-firm.

Rendimiento

Comes into bearing early, but only moderately productive with a tendency to alternate bearing.

Observaciones

For orchard, limited for the garden. Only for well-ventilated locations; prone to canker in wet, dense soils.

Cuidados

Prune scaffold branches to medium length; cut back harder after heavy crops or weak shoot growth to counter premature ageing.
