The 'Belle de Boskoop' is an old variety of Apple tree. The apple is very good for storage, sweet, firm, crunchy, and juicy. It is very high in vitamin C. It is a very good eating apple but also suitable for cooking.
Malus domestica 'Belle de Boskoop' is a very hardy and vigorous tree. It is easy to grow, however, it is not suitable for small gardens as it requires a pollinator nearby. Plant it in the vicinity of one of these 4 varieties: 'Red Astrakan', 'Borowitsky', 'Reine des Reinettes', 'Winter Banana'.
The 'Belle de Boskoop' is one of the most widely cultivated varieties in France and Europe because the quality of these apples is very reliable. The flesh is slightly yellow, the skin is fairly thin but a little rough. After harvesting, it can be stored until March.
Our 'Belle de Boskoop' apple trees are supplied in Verrier espalier quality, pruned with 4 branches in a double U shape. They bear fruit from the first year.
Dutch breeding from 1856.

Botanical data
Choose a sunny spot for your 'Belle de Boskoop' Apple Tree. The soil can be slightly chalky or acidic, but not excessively so. Ensure proper drainage by adding a thin layer of gravel to the planting hole. Do not bury the graft collar. Pruning can be limited to a quick thinning. Before the vegetation resumes, around the month of March, remove dead wood and crossing branches. This apple tree is sold as an espalier, meaning it is trained to grow against a wall or fence along tightly stretched horizontal wires. In June, when the apples are forming, thin out the clusters, keeping only one fruit. This will allow your apples to reach a larger size at ripeness. You can add a small shovel of wood ash, which is rich in potash, during the winter to improve fruiting. Harvest takes place in October. Only keep the picked fruits and consume any fallen fruits fresh. Store the apples with the stalk pointing downwards, on shelves or in crates. Choose a dry and cool place, preferably completely dark and 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).
