Today I planted a new bare root apple tree. This variety is Redlove® Era®, a red-flesh apple developed in Europe by crossbreeding conventional apples with red-flesh crab apples. The result is reported to be a disease-resistant apple with reddish leaves, pink flowers, and the apples have red flesh to the core. The flesh does have white patterns mixed with the red. The apples are described as having a berry-like flavor mixed with apple flavor.
This is a nice experiment. We'll see how it does. This tree came from One Green World, which has a selection of red flesh apples.
In my orchard, I already have Airlie Red Flesh, which has a pink flesh color with green skin when ripe, a very tasty apple. I tried growing a graft of Redfield, which is described as a very tart red-flesh apple, but the graft lacked vigor and I cut it off.
I was impressed with the large, healthy root mass on this small tree. I was able to spread the roots out with no losses or pruning. Based on past experiences, I immediately protected the new tree with a vole / rodent hardware cloth sleeve. The tree is also in a protected, fenced in area to inhibit deer browsing.
