Roter Herbstkalvill

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

Aromatic autumn dessert apple (grade 2-), keeps only a few weeks; well suited to dried apple rings.

Crecimiento

Strong, still moderately vigorous once bearing. Broad, flat crown with sparse branching and flat scaffold branches that tend to go bare.

Rendimiento

Cropping starts relatively late and stays relatively light, with a tendency to biennial bearing. Strong pre-harvest fruit drop.

Observaciones

Clearly prone to scab, somewhat prone to canker and mildew. Only for well-ventilated sites and loose, not heavy or waterlogged soils. Conditionally suited to standard orchards.

Cuidados

Prune to encourage better branching and a smaller crown to counter bareness. Pick promptly in several passes because of the strong drop; choose an airy site.
