Description

The 'Belle de Boskoop' is an old variety of Apple tree. The apple is very good for storage, sweet, firm, crisp, and juicy. It is high in vitamin C. It is a very good eating apple as well as a cooking apple.

Malus domestica 'Belle de Boskoop' is a very hardy and vigorous tree. It is easy to grow, however it is not suitable for small gardens as it requires a pollinator nearby. Plant it near one of these 4 varieties: 'Red Astrakan', 'Borowitsky', 'Reine des Reinettes', 'Winter Banana'.

The 'Belle de Boskoop' is one of the most cultivated varieties in France and Europe because the quality of its apples is very reliable. The flesh is slightly yellow, the skin is quite thin but a bit rough. After harvest, it can be stored until March.

Our 'Belle de Boskoop' apple trees are delivered as Verrier palmette, pruned with 4 branches in a double U shape. They bear fruit from the first year.

Dutch creation from 1856.

Planting and care

Choose a sunny spot for your 'Belle de Boskoop' Apple tree. The soil can be slightly alkaline or acidic, but not excessively so. Ensure proper drainage by adding a thin layer of gravel to the planting hole. Do not bury the graft collar. Pruning can be limited to a quick thinning. Before the vegetation resumes, around March, remove dead wood and crossing branches. This apple tree is sold as an espalier, meaning it is trained to grow against a wall or fence along tightly stretched horizontal wires. In June, when the apples are forming, thin out the clusters and leave only one fruit. This will allow your apples to reach a larger size at maturity. During winter, you can add a small handful of wood ash, which is rich in potassium. This will improve fruiting. Harvest takes place in October. Only keep the picked fruits and consume the fallen fruits fresh. Store the apples with the stem facing downwards on shelves or in crates. Choose a dry and cool location, preferably completely dark and frost-free.
