Karmijn de Sonnaville Apple

Malus domestica 'Karmijn de Sonnaville' This intensely-flavored, red-russetted apple from Holland measures the highest in both sugars and acids. A triploid cross of Cox's Orange and Jonathan, it is the favorite of many; however, it is so highly flavored and aromatic, that it overwhelms some tastes when just off the tree. Put this excellent winter keeper in a box when it ripens in mid-October and wait about a month for the complex, mellow flavors to start shining through.  This variety is a triploid and is pollen sterile. It will not pollinize other varieties. Blooms midseason category 3. A vigorous grower and somewhat scab resistant, it has proven to thrive in our region.  USDA Zone: 4-9 Mature Height: 6' (Mini Dwarf), 11' (Dwarf) Sun: Full Sun Ripening Time: Late Pollination: Needs a Pollinizer Mini-Dwarf Rootstock: EMLA 27 Dwarf Rootstock: M26 Read our Apple Growing Guide
