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.
