Maglemer Apple

Maglemer derived probably from Maglemer Lolland, Denmark, where it is thought to be formed as seedling 1810. Variety is also known under the synonyms Maglemer Stripling, Strib Apple and Alfred Hage apple.

The variety is described in 1870 and in 1888 recommended for planting in Jutlands more fertile regions. The variety is recommended again for planting of the Jutlands Horticultural Society 1899. In 1920, the variety is well known across the country.

The tree can be old, and will gradually grow tall, and get a rather broad and stiff crown. Considered a good pollinator and are pollinated of many varieties. In clay soil, cancer attacks are frequent, but it are doing fine on loose, warm soils.

The fruit is not very big, about 5 cm. Apples ground color is greenish-yellow. Cover color is red, and covers approx. 25% of the apple. Apples topcoat is weak with distinct stripes. Apple peel is smooth. The flesh is firm with a fine / medium fine texture. Good eating apple that is juicy and pleasantly acidic with good aroma. There is no tendency for browning after cutting.

Harvested from the second half of September. Used from picking until July. However, should not be stored for too long, as it will lose some of the flavor. Fine for most.
