A red-fleshed apple variety which has been used as the basis for commercial development of new red-fleshed apples.

A red-fleshed apple variety from Germany. Most red-fleshed apples have a poor flavour but we understand Weirouge has a sweeter flavour than other red-fleshed apples and a crisper flesh. There has been some commercial interest in it.

For more details about this variety see the website of Nigel Deacon who specialises in red fleshed apples.
