Malus domestica Regali ('Delkistar') is a vigorous variety that is highly productive. It consistently produces beautiful crimson-red apples. The round and plump apples are harvested in September-October. Their skin has a lovely red hue, highlighted by a serrated crown. It covers deliciously sweet and fragrant flesh. This versatile apple can be enjoyed both raw and cooked. It is easily used in pastries, pies, and cakes. Regali apples keep well. Stored under good conditions, they can be consumed until January.
Malus domestica belongs to the Rosaceae family. It is cultivated almost everywhere in the world. It includes countless varieties, both old and modern, that produce apples of varying sizes and flavours, ranging from sweet to tart. Apple trees are native to Europe, where their presence has been documented since ancient times.
This variety is disease resistant, particularly to scab. This hardy variety can withstand temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F), making it ideal for cold climates and mountainous regions. It typically blooms in April. This is not a self-fertile variety. To ensure fruiting, it should be planted near other varieties such as 'Royal Gala', 'Delbard Jubilé', 'Harmonie', or 'Tentation' for pollination.
Apples can be consumed raw or cooked, in compotes, pastries, paired with cheeses, or as an accompaniment to savoury dishes with pork, or in salads. They are rich in carbohydrates and fructose, and are invigorating and rehydrating. They boast a high content of vitamins A, B, C, and E, minerals, antioxidants, and fibre. The fruits can be stored throughout winter. Store in a cool, clean place, protected from light, at a temperature of around 8 to 10°C (46.4 to 50°F), or in a cold room, sealed off from outside air, at a temperature of 1 to 3°C (33.8 to 37.4°F). Apples release ethylene, a gas that promotes fruit ripening. To accelerate the ripening of your other fruits or vegetables, place your apples next to them.
For transportation reasons, our tallest scions may be pruned before shipment. They are suitable for all common training methods: cordons, espaliers, goblets, half-standards, and low standards. They are not suitable for high standards. Please contact us if you would like more information or advice on training your fruit trees.
This fruit tree is delivered in a ready-to-plant root ball. The root ball should be planted as it is. The biodegradable cover that surrounds the root ball and preserves the rootlets will decompose on its own during the plant's growth. By leaving this cover in place, you ensure better establishment.

Botanical data
Choose a sunny location. The soil can be slightly chalky or acidic, but not excessively so. Dig a wide planting hole at least 3 times the volume of the root ball. Add organic matter (topsoil, compost) and a base fertiliser, such as crushed horn. Do not bury the graft collar. Stake if necessary. For apple trees planted in isolation and in open areas, it may be useful to stake them by installing a guy wire system: plant 3 stakes in a triangle 50cm (20in) around the trunk and connect them together with pieces of wood. Protect the bark with a piece of rubber, for example, and attach the stakes to the trunk with metal wires. Water abundantly, even in rainy winter. 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 high heat or frost.
During winter, you can add a small handful of wood ash, which is rich in potash. This will improve fruiting.
Apple trees can be subject to various diseases and pests. In order to limit risks, space the trees sufficiently. You can also plant multi-species hedges and install nesting boxes or insect hotels to attract beneficial insects. In summary: prioritize diversity.
The main diseases of apple trees are scab (brown spots on leaves), brown rot (wilting of flowers and rotting of fruits on the tree), and powdery mildew (white powdery coating on leaves). For these three cases, preventive action is preferred by spraying a decoction of horsetail.
As for pests, the codling moth (or fruit worm) is a small caterpillar, resulting from the laying of a butterfly, which causes holes inside the fruit. Encourage birds and bats into your garden to feast on this pest! In case of aphid infestation, spray a solution based on black soap.
During the harvest, only keep the picked fruits. Store the apples on shelves or in crates with their stem facing downwards. Choose a preferably completely dark, dry and cool place that is frost-free.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
