Glockenapfel Apple Rootstock/Size:Bud 118 Semi-Dwarf: 2-3 ft.

Glockenapfel Apple Rootstock/Size:Bud 118 Semi-Dwarf: 2-3 ft.This is the first year we have grown Glockenapfel, and we have not yet tasted the fruit or observed its long term behavior under Montana conditions, so the information below should be considered secondhand rather than experiential. Overview From the research we have done in creating this description, as well as from what we have read about the variety, Glockenapfel (also known as Weier Winterglockenapfel and related regional names) is an old European

Beyond fresh eating

From its uniquely cone-like white flowers in the spring (which attract tons of pollinators) to its berries—important both for wildlife and in the kitchen—Chokecherry is a must-have for any cold-climate fruit grower

the flavor immediately reminded him of mango

and the trees are surrounded by all fairly hardy trees (there's also a Northwest Greening right next to the mother tree which is hardy to -40F) these seedlings would likely become hardy trees that will produce apples that can ripen in a short growing season

The White Nanking seemed to come back even stronger

The genotype has been observed for 24 years at the USDA National Germplasm Repository in Corvallis

but a practical baseline is 12–15 ft on semi-dwarf systems and 18–20+ ft on more vigorous or standard systems

Flavor & Cider Qualities

The fruit ripens about two weeks later than Adams

like most peach cultivars

but should not be planted east of the divide in Montana (with the exception of warmer microclimates of the warmer valleys near Billings)
