'Barby' - beloved not only by children
'Barby' is a late dessert variety suitable for both intensive plantings and private gardens. Its crunchy, juicy fruit with a unique aromatic taste is favoured (not only) by children. That's also where its name (inspired by the famous dolly) comes from. Its fruit flavour together with the specific, pinkish red over colour make 'Barby' a distinct, easily recognisable apple variety.
