'Ghiva' - the apple that endures more
It is not only its remarkably firm flesh what makes 'Ghiva' unique - this late dessert variety also boasts resistance to multiple diseases and long storability till the end of April. Thanks to this all, apples of this variety are ideal for storage and transport. Their taste will please those who prefer sweeter apples.
