Apple Tree Red Love - Malus domestica

The 'Red Love' Apple Tree  is a new variety of apple tree with red flesh. It produces magnificent fruits, and is completely red from skin to flesh. The flesh is crisp, juicy, sweet, and rich in antioxidants. Harvest takes place from mid-August to September. The 'Red Love' Apple Tree is not self-fertile. It is resistant to scab, diseases in general, and pests.

The apple tree is native to Europe. The 'Red Love' Apple Tree is a variety selected by Markus Kobelt for Lubera, the brand's holder, in Switzerland. It includes several different hybrids.

The 'Red Love' Apple Tree is an upright tree, with a very elegant and slender appearance. It has a regular and consistent productivity. To avoid high productivity, thinning is necessary to prevent small fruit size and the occurrence of diseases.
The tree's foliage is composed of very large, ovate leaves, slightly hairy and greenish-brown on the upper side, whitish-green on the lower side, deeply toothed.

The white flowering occurs late in April. The flowering is therefore not afraid of strong frosts. The apple tree is therefore suitable for cultivation in all regions. Self-sterile, the presence of apple trees whose flowering occurs at the same time is necessary. The 'Gala' apple tree seems to be the most suitable, and ornamental apple trees are also good pollinators.

Fruiting begins in mid-August. The fruits will keep well in a cool place. They are completely red, from skin to flesh. The flesh is crisp, juicy, sweet, and rich in antioxidants.

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