'Redlane' - the garden and table decoration

A 'Redlane' in full bloom is an eye-catcher that one can hardly overlook. Later in the season, it will arouse interest again thanks to its decorative purple-red fruits. Especially the Dutch love to process these small apples with pinkish-red flesh into red jelly. 'Redlane' may be interesting for those looking for a charming variety with a non-conventional use.
