Apple Tree Maggy - Malus domestica

The Maggy® Apple Tree is a medium-vigorous variety with good productivity. It produces medium-sized, blood-red fruits. Their magnificent red flesh is veined with white. It is crisp and sweet-tart. The Maggy® Apple Tree is not self-fertile.

The apple tree is native to Europe, particularly in France where its presence has been documented since antiquity. The Maggy® Apple Tree is a recent variety of apple selected for its red flesh.

The Maggy® Apple Tree has a semi-erect habit, giving it a tall and elegant appearance. It is very productive, and thinning is essential at the start of fruiting to prevent small fruit size and the occurrence of diseases.

Its foliage is composed of very large, ovate leaves, slightly fuzzy and brownish-green on the upper side, whitish-green on the lower side, deeply toothed.
The white flowering occurs in April. The flowering is not afraid of frost. Therefore, the apple tree is suitable for cultivation in all regions. Self-sterile, the presence of apple trees with simultaneous flowering is necessary. The varieties 'Reine des Reinettes' and 'Golden' are the most suitable.
Fruit production begins in late September. The fruits are medium-sized, blood-red. Their magnificent red flesh is veined with white. It is crisp and sweet-tart.

These apples are particularly good for eating fresh or in pastries. They can also be used for compotes, cooked dishes, jams, jellies and in savory dishes, in combination with Normandy cheeses, for example.
