Fruit

Fine-flavoured dessert apple, taste rated 2. Full flavour develops only with enough sun; shaded fruit tastes noticeably weaker.

Yield

No specific data on yield behaviour.

Notes

Needs well-ventilated, not-too-warm sites and good soils; prefers a continental, dry-air climate. A sunny spot is key to the flavour. Origin: Landsberg (Warthe), 19th century. Only recommended with reservations for Westphalia.

Care

High site demands: prefers sunny, well-ventilated positions and loose soils.
