'Karneval' is a variety that you simply cannot mistake for any other - its striped fruits look as if they were painted. Both on the tree and displayed as a decoration on your Christmas table, they will definitely attract much attention thanks to their surprising appearance. Their taste may please those who enjoy slightly tart apples. 'Karneval' is robust to scab and powdery mildew, does not need fruit thinning nor does it have any special growing requirements - it makes it ideal for home gardens.
