'REDSPRING': THE COLUMNAR ELEGANCE WITH REFRESHING FLAVOUR

Home Ι Varieties Ι Columnar varieties Ι 'Redspring'

'Redspring' is a late columnar variety with high resistance to scab. It is a great choice especially for home gardens. It bears attractive fruits with an outstanding bright red colour that develops better in cooler apple-producing areas. They are remarkably juicy and have very good, well-balanced sweet-tart flavour. Thanks to its compact growth, 'Redspring' thrives well in small gardens, fruit walls, and terraces.
