Description
The 'Belle de Boskoop' Apple Tree is a variety that is vigorous and productive. It produces large, round, irregular fruits that are light green to yellow with red markings. Their flesh is granular, semi-crisp, juicy, and tart. The harvest takes place in late October and November. They can be stored until March. The 'Belle de Boskoop' Apple Tree is not self-fertile. It is resistant to canker, scab, and cold.
The apple tree is native to Europe, particularly in France where its presence has been documented since ancient times. The 'Belle de Boskoop' Apple Tree is a variety discovered in the Netherlands by J.K.W. Ottolander in 1856, in Boskoop. It is a variety that has proven itself and has maintained a good reputation throughout the years.
The 'Belle de Boskoop' Apple Tree has a semi-upright habit, with a tall trunk and a spreading canopy, naturally allowing for good airflow and providing some resistance to fungal diseases. It is quite productive, so it will need to be thinned to avoid small fruit size and the occurrence of diseases.
Its foliage consists of very large, ovate, slightly hairy leaves that are greenish-brown on top and whitish-green underneath, with deeply dentate edges.
Its spectacular flowering period lasts for 20 days in April. It is composed of large white flowers. The flowering period is not affected by frost. The apple tree is therefore suitable for cultivation in mountainous regions. Self-sterile, the presence of apple trees that bloom at the same time is necessary. The varieties 'Golden', 'Starking Delicious', 'Reine des Reinettes' and 'Idared' are suitable.
The fruiting period is late, starting in late October and extending into November. The large, round fruits are irregular, light green to yellow with red markings. Their flesh is granular, semi-crisp, juicy, and tart.
These apples are particularly delicious when eaten fresh or used in pies. They can also be used for compotes and in savoury dishes, especially when paired with Normandy cheeses.

Planting and care
Choose a sunny location for your 'Belle de Boskoop' Apple tree. The soil can be slightly alkaline or acidic, but not excessively so. Dig a wide planting hole at least 3 times the size of the root ball. Simultaneously add organic matter (such as topsoil or compost) and a base fertilizer like crushed horn. Do not bury the graft collar. Stake if necessary. Water thoroughly, even in winter or if it is raining. Fruit trees are ideally planted between October and March, avoiding frosty periods. Container-grown plants can be planted year-round, except during periods of high heat or frost.
In winter, you can add a small handful of wood ash, which is rich in potassium, to improve fruiting. Watch out for potential aphid attacks during the season. A white powdery mildew fungus may appear on the leaves in summer, but it does not harm fruit development in gardens. Harvest takes place in September. Only store picked fruits. Store apples with the stem downwards on shelves or in crates. Choose a preferably completely dark, dry, cool location, but frost-free.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
