Hallo Richard, Hallo Michael,
Elstar is a very much planted and sold apple in Germany, but usually
only at plantations and this has reasons.
It is from Golden Delicious x Ingrid Marie and came from Netherlands 1978
Strong growth,
bloom = middle to late,
picking = middle September,
eating = end of September till December,
harvest = medium till much
taste = sweet with nice acid, strong aroma (taste)
diseases = to make it short, I can say = all medium till strong!!!
frost damage possible but regenerate well
I think this all makes it to a nice apple only for plantations with much
pesticides!
8 additional variations from Elstar (also Valstar) are known at Europe.
ciao
Hans
