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.

Rubin is originally a Czech variety. Other well-known varieties derived from Rubin include Rubinola and Topaz.

The apple has a mild flavor and is very juicy. The yellowish-white flesh is crisp, with a high sugar content, which makes the apple excellent for eating fresh. The variety reaches picking maturity in mid-September, when the fruit develops a beautiful red to red-streaked sun side with a yellow background.

Apples soften quickly at room temperature. Apples should therefore be kept in the refrigerator (+2-4 °C) or alternatively on the balcony - as long as the outdoor temperature is cool - but not at risk of dropping below freezing.
