Owner's comments
Dutch: Goudreinette, Schone van Boskoop German: Schöner von Boskoop, Reinette von Montfort Probably the green colour variety. The tree must be over 65 years old, looks still healthy however. It was delivered as a small horizontal espalier with 2 tiers (French: étages). My tree ID ref = F2Season records for this tree
2012
Size: 3.0m / 10.0ft high 1.5m / 5.0ft wide
about 50 apples picked. That was an excellent season again for this tree, after a years of low production since 2007, with only 10 to 20 ripe apples. Probably, our biological efforts to counter fruit worm infections have paid off.2010
Spring blossom: 26 April
