Description:
The Gravenstein apple, Malus domestica 'Gravenstein', is a notable heirloom variety known for its light green skin with red stripes and a tart, sweet flavor. Originating from Denmark in the early 1600s, it is celebrated for its large yield and prolonged picking season. This triploid variety requires a pollinator and thrives in USDA zones 2-9, preferring cool climates and full sun. It is resistant to Cedar Apple Rust and requires 700 chill hours. The tree is large and long-lived, needing well-drained soil and regular thinning to prevent alternate bearing.
