Description

The 'Red Love' Apple Tree  is a new variety of apple tree with red flesh. It produces magnificent fruits, and is completely red from skin to flesh. The flesh is crisp, juicy, sweet, and rich in antioxidants. Harvest takes place from mid-August to September. The 'Red Love' Apple Tree is not self-fertile. It is resistant to scab, diseases in general, and pests.

The apple tree is native to Europe. The 'Red Love' Apple Tree is a variety selected by Markus Kobelt for Lubera, the brand's holder, in Switzerland. It includes several different hybrids.

The 'Red Love' Apple Tree is an upright tree, with a very elegant and slender appearance. It has a regular and consistent productivity. To avoid high productivity, thinning is necessary to prevent small fruit size and the occurrence of diseases.
The tree's foliage is composed of very large, ovate leaves, slightly hairy and greenish-brown on the upper side, whitish-green on the lower side, deeply toothed.

The white flowering occurs late in April. The flowering is therefore not afraid of strong frosts. The apple tree is therefore suitable for cultivation in all regions. Self-sterile, the presence of apple trees whose flowering occurs at the same time is necessary. The 'Gala' apple tree seems to be the most suitable, and ornamental apple trees are also good pollinators.

Fruiting begins in mid-August. The fruits will keep well in a cool place. They are completely red, from skin to flesh. The flesh is crisp, juicy, sweet, and rich in antioxidants.

These apples are particularly good for eating fresh. They can also be used in pastries, jams, jellies, or in savory dishes, paired with cheeses, for example.

Planting and care

Choose a sunny location for your 'Red Love' Apple Tree. The soil can be slightly chalky or acidic but not excessively so. Dig a large planting hole at least 3 times the size of the root ball. Simultaneously add organic matter (compost, potting soil) and a slow-release fertilizer such as crushed horn. Do not bury the graft union. Stake if necessary. Water generously, even in winter, and even if it rains. Fruit trees are ideally planted between October and March, outside of the freezing period. Container-grown plants can be planted all year round, except during periods of extreme heat or frost.

In winter, you can improve fruiting by adding a small handful of wood ash, which is rich in potassium. Watch out for potential aphid attacks during the season. A white powdery coating caused by a fungus, powdery mildew, may appear on the leaves in summer, but it does not harm fruit development in gardens. Harvest takes place in September. Only store picked fruits. Apples should be stored with the stem facing downwards, on shelves or in crates. These apples prefer a completely dark, dry, cool location, but frost-free.

Care

Pruning instructions The pruning of your apple tree can be limited to a simple removal of dead or obstructive branches at the end of winter, in March. During the first 3 to 4 years, you can also promote the formation of 4 or 5 main branches, resulting in an open centre habit, which is traditional in fruit tree cultivation. In any case, make sure to leave some spaces in the tree's structure for good air circulation and light penetration. Do not hesitate to thin out fruit clusters in June. Removing some fruits relieves fragile branches and helps achieve a better size.
