Our apple varieties

Zonga (Alkmene x Delcorf) is a late-summer apple. It is harvested at the same time as Discovery, in late August. The variety is triploid, meaning Zonga is neither self-pollinating nor capable of pollinating other apple varieties; therefore, a diploid variety is required as a pollinator to ensure fruit production.

Zonga develops an attractive orange-red blush over a yellow background. It has a fresh flavor with a delicate balance of mild acidity and sweetness. The flesh is firm yet easy to bite into, which enhances its fresh taste.

Apples are best stored at +2–4°C (in the refrigerator) to maintain their firmness and flavor.

Rosette is a sport of Discovery. It differs from Discovery due to its characteristic deep red / pink flesh. The picking time is roughly the same as for Discovery - late August.

The apple has a slightly more tart flavor, a common trait in mutations with redder flesh. Nevertheless, Rosette is just as crisp as Discovery and offers a good balance between acidity and fruitiness. It is also excellent for cooking and juicing, as the flesh turns products like applesauce or juice completely pink.

Domestic apples are best stored in the refrigerator +2/4°C, as the fruit softens relatively quickly at room temperature.

Discovery is our earliest variety. The apple ripens in late August, taking on a beautiful red color set against a background that ranges from yellow to green. The variety has a distinctive, often slightly flattened shape, and the apples grow in tight clusters on the tree due to their extremely short stems.

The flesh is crisp and firm, with a sweet-and-sour flavor. When ripe, the apple releases a delightful aroma that quickly fills the room.

Domestic apples soften rapidly at room temperature. They are best stored in the refrigerator at +2–4°C, although the flavor is more pronounced if the apple has been allowed to sit at room temperature for a few hours.
