'Camelot' - a touch of refreshing crispness

'Camelot' is a late dessert variety highly robust to multiple diseases, which bears bicolour fruit with a firm and crisp texture and a harmonic, pleasantly refreshing, slightly tart flavour. Its apples keep in good shape for long in storage. 'Camelot' is one of our latest promising newselections, freshly introduced onto the market.
