The Rote Gardeteler apple tree is a rare and exceptional variety, known for its intense red-fleshed apples. This heirloom variety, often referred to as the “blood apple,” is distinguished by its dark red skin and deep red flesh, which is sure to impress in your garden or kitchen.
Rote Gardeteler apples are medium-sized, with smooth skin and juicy flesh. Their flavour is balanced, offering a harmonious combination of sweetness and acidity, with aromatic notes reminiscent of red fruits such as blackcurrant. These apples are great to bite into, but they also lend themselves very well to baking, where their bright color remains intact, adding a dramatic touch to your desserts.
The Rote Gardeteler apple tree is a tree of medium vigour, reaching an adult height of 3 to 4 metres. It prefers well-drained soil and sunny exposure. Although it is relatively resistant to disease, it is important to plant it in a well-ventilated area to avoid problems with excessive moisture.
When planting, be careful not to bury the graft point and to pack the soil well around the roots. Regular watering is recommended, especially in the first year after planting. For better pollination, it is advisable to plant it near other varieties of apple trees such as the Cabarette or the Colapuis, which bloom at the same time.
The Rote Gardeteler apple is not only beautiful to bite into, but also versatile in the kitchen. It particularly stands out in baked preparations such as pies, compotes or even baked apples. Its red flesh remains vibrant even after cooking, adding a unique visual touch to your dishes.
These apples can be stored in a cool, well-ventilated place, such as a cellar or garage. To maximize their shelf life, avoid bumping them during harvest and check the fruit regularly to remove any that are starting to deteriorate.
Rote Gardeteler is partially self-fertile but will perform best when planted near other apple trees. Flowering takes place in April, and the apples are ready to harvest between the end of September and mid-October.
