However, this story is not entirely certain. A certain Andr\u00e9 Leroy claims in a historical document that the Strawberry Apple was found in the French Auvergne and was only mentioned in 1617. In any case, it was cultivated very frequently in Central Europe in the past, but is now rarely found.<\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, the name &#8216;Edelk\u00f6nig&#8217; is not a synonym, but a variety, i.e. a variety that differs slightly from the Strawberry Apple. It is more egg-shaped and less irregular in shape than the original variety.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16522\" src=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Strawberry-Apple-2.jpg\" alt=\"Strawberry Apple\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Strawberry-Apple-2.jpg 750w, https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Strawberry-Apple-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Strawberry-Apple-2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taste_and_characteristics_of_the_Red_Autumn_Calville\"><\/span>Taste and characteristics of the Red Autumn Calville<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The &#8216;Rote Herbstkalvill&#8217; can be small, medium, or rarely large &#8211; the latter is the case when the tree bears only a few fruits. The shape is broadly frustoconical or flattened and spherical and rather irregular with strong ribs. The cross-section is almost angular. The peel of the fruits is smooth and very shiny and greasy with a greenish-yellow base color, which is seldom seen. It is whitewashed almost everywhere by a dark, almost red-black covering color.<\/p>\n<p>You May Also Like <a href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/is-an-apple-a-fruit\/\">Are Apples Considered Fruits?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The lenticels are easily recognizable as fine white rust spots. The flesh is white, but directly under the skin and in strips that pull inwards, it is marbled with a strong red color.

It needs a lot of warmth, a sheltered location like in a good fruit growing area, as well as fertile and deep, moderately moist soil. If he does not find these conditions, he acknowledges this with susceptibility to diseases, in particular scab, powdery mildew, fruit tree cancer, and fruit rot. Premature fruit fall and low yields are also common in unsuitable locations.<\/p>\n<p>However, if it feels comfortable in its place of growth, the following properties can be fully exploited: When young, the Strawberry Apple has strong growth and becomes tall and broad-crowned. The leaf is large and healthy. Because of the strong growth, the culture is suitable as a half or high trunk, but not forming in a trellis or as a bush tree. If you do not try to force the apple tree into an unsuitable shape, you will hardly have any costly pruning measures ahead of you after your upbringing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16523\" src=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Strawberry-Apple-3.jpg\" alt=\"Strawberry Apple\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Strawberry-Apple-3.jpg 750w, https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Strawberry-Apple-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Strawberry-Apple-3-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Harvest_time_and_use_of_the_Strawberry_Apple_variety\"><\/span>Harvest time and use of the Strawberry Apple variety<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Harvest time for the Strawberry Apple is already at the end of September in order to receive stored apples.
