Red Boskoop Apple

Malus domestica 'Red Belle de Boskoop' This heirloom keeper apple originated in Boskoop, Holland, in 1856, and is still prized in Europe where it is a popular commercial variety. Trees produce heavy crops of very large apples that are superior for cooking and baking into pies, with a rich balance of sweet and tart flavors. Red Boskoop is rated among the highest in phytonutrients, making it healthful and delicious! The apples, which are russetted over a red base, ripen in mid-late fall and store well all winter long, with flavors improving as they age in storage. Trees have some resistance to scab.  USDA Zone: 4-9 Mature Height: 5' (Mini Dwarf), 11' (Dwarf), 25' (Standard) Sun: Full Sun Ripening Time: October Pollination: Needs a Pollinizer Mini-Dwarf Rootstock: EMLA 27 Dwarf Rootstock: EMLA 26 Espalier Rootstock: EMLA 26 Dwarf Standard Rootstock: Antanovka Read our Apple Growing Guide
