'Heliodor' - bright yellow and juicy
'Heliodor' is a robust late dessert variety intended mainly for home gardens. It can draw a lot of attention thanks to its beautiful bright yellow apples shining on the trees. Enjoy its medium- to large-sized fruits with plenty of juice and a pleasant sweet taste with a bit of tartness.
