Apple Red Gravenstein

Apple Red Gravenstein Details

The Red Gravenstein apple tree bears large fruit in late summer. The fruit are striped orange and red with flesh that is crisp and juicy, and a flavour that is sharp, yet very pleasant. It typically grows to 5 m tall and 4 m wide, though it can be trimmed as necessary. It is self-pollinating and so does not require another apple variety planted close by to produce fruit. Best results with this variety are achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost, though a late frost in spring can reduce yields. The Red Gravenstein apple tree is commonly planted for fruit production, included in a mixed planting, or grown as a specimen.
