#11 When can I buy the Redlove apples at the supermarket?

Hi Markus

Are you selling Redlove apple trees to professional growers in the UK?

Hi Robin.

Our licencee for prof fruitgrowing and the fruit market in UK is Chingford/AG Thames. They and their growers begin to plant this season and mor next season.

Hi Markus, I wanted to know if there's any chance I can grow redlove apple trees in Argentina. (Maybe some trade has been already made?)
thank you,

Hallo Maria.

For homegardening we are not working in Argentina yet. Our marketing partner for prof. fruitgrowing, NFG in Holland, is in search of a partner in Argentina.

If you are interested please write a e-mail to info@lubera.com and I will forward it to Victor Eijkman of NFG Holland

Hi Markus,
I'm trying to find out if I can buy Redlove trees in France. I would really like at least one, but am not sure if I could take one out of England to France (I believe it's illegal!) Or maybe you sell from your Swiss site to France, but my German is not good enough to order from that site.
Thanks

Hallo Su

for your personal and private use you can surely transport within the EU. No problem.

So buy in UK and transport to France!

Enjoy the Redloves

Markus

Markus - Just to let you know I had a poor response when I contacted your UK Licencee Chingford/AG Thames a month or so ago. They seem to have a lot of things going on there - in fact when I phoned them no one really knew about your apple!! It may have just been a particularly busy day for them but I suggest that they at least have a named representative othewise you may loose sales.

Why I tell you this is we grow 20 acres of organic blueberries mainly for Riverford Organics and were interested in possibly asking you about whether you would be interested in us creating an organic redlove apple that we could grow along side our blueberries.

kind regards

Robin

Hi Mr Markus
I m a student from Iran.I wanted to know how can I buy Redlove trees?I would really like to study about this tree and I wanted to grow some ones.
and another questions do you have private Email.i have many questions from you.
I d really love your products.

Redloves you can buy in UK from Suttons if you are studying in UK. We have no possiblitiy of delivery in Iran

Excuse me Sir
I'm going to go to Frankfurt in February.How I can I order from there?
How long does it take that you send?
thanks

Could you please tell me the difference between Redlove Era and Redlove circe - would like to order soon from England, but can't find any info to distinguish between them.
Many thanks

Circe is much earlier, ripening about 20. of August. Era is ripening about 10-15. September

please can you tell me the difference between Era & Sirena

Thanks

Apple Redlove Sirena planted 18 Nov 2010 and growing well in very large pot. Can you advise on pruning the side branches - when and how, and where the apples will grow from as pictures show from upright stems and not branches. Also should I remove all the flowers that may bloom this year, or only leave a few and then allow only a couple of actual apples to grow in its third year? It does look lovely and I'm hopefully for the future. Thank you so much.

-the small sidebranches com from the concurrence between trees, they are planted at 50cm
-you can have a similar effekt if you bind them below the horizontale if they are 30-40cm long. They will stop growing and set blooms for next year.
-you can leave up to 4/5 apples this year

Estoy interesado como aficionado a plantar y cultivar redlove, como puedo conseguir en España los plantones de redlove.Gracias

I am interested in buying some of these trees, but can find no information about what root stock they are on or the fruiting time and whether they are keepers or need eating quickly. Any information would be appreciated.

The Redloves are all winter grafted on the slow growing M9 rootstock. The fruiting time varies within the different varieties:

Era - can be picked around 10-20th september, storable until christmas

Circe - can be picked around 20th of august, storable until end of September

Sirena - can be picked around mid august, storable until end of September

I went to Sutton's website and ordered one of each tree only to find out that they do not ship them internationally, not even within the EU.

'The following items were removed from your basket due to Restrictions'

That means that there is no way of buying these trees? What is with this exclusivity thing? Why don't they let people buy them?

Sorry I do not understand, from where did you try to order the trees?

Right now you can buy the Redlove trees:

- for Germany, Switzerland and Austria you can order them directly at our onlineshop www.Lubera.com

- for the UK you can order them at Suttons

- for Ireland you can order them at Mr. Middleton

Sorry, I forgot :)
I'm in Sweden. I just read on the swedish environmental protection agency's website that Malus sp. can be imported with a phytosanitary license- no problem (Same rules as for all EU countries)

I emailed Sutton's as well but I think it's just their policy not to sell to other countries. Maybe there is somewhere else I can turn? I have been waiting to buy this variety for years! I thought we joined the EU so these things would be simpler ;)

Thanks for your help!

Estoy en España, donde puedo comprar los arboles de red love y otros,por online en otro pais de la UE porque Sutton no envia fuera de Gran Bretaña, por favor estoy muy interesado.,Gracias

@Manuel: No habla espagnol, sorry. Please write in englisch, deutsch ou francaise

@Patrick:
Sorry but an export to sweden is not possible at this moment due to logistic reasons. There are still too many restrictions, too much paper work and a delivery would be way more expensive than the tree would actually cost (we do not ship standard packages, the packages are open on top which makes a delivery way more expensive.). I do not know how Suttons handles this though.

@Falko: Manuel has the exact same problem as I do :) He is wondering where he can buy it online from another EU country, because Sutton's don't send outside the UK. Maybe I can drive to Germany and collect it there.

@Manuel: Perdón mi espanol... No es posible, en el mismo tiempo, enviar arbóles al Espana porque hay tan mucho burocracia. Lubera utilisan un paquete abierto, que hace el transporte tan caro. Sí tienes un dirección en UK, Alemania, Austria o Suiza puedes recorgerlo allí.

Sr. Markus, cuando podré comprar planta de redlove, en España, o por online donde sea, por favor

Hello Markus,

I was wondering if you have plans to introduce/export your 'Redlove' apple tree to the U.S.? I contacted Suttons and they said that due to licensing they couldn't export to the U.S. but that you might be willing to further discuss my interest in your apple trees. If you do have plans to introduce the 'Redlove' into the U.S., do you know when?

Thanks

Hi Markus,

Trying to figure out how to get your RedLove apples in the U.S. Are you working with anybody on licensing your Tree in the US? You are going to sell a ton of trees here whenever it gets here.

Thanks!

Hello, could you please tell me what pollination group your Redlove Sirena apple is in. I was wondering if it is suitable to pollinate other non self fertile apples.

Thank you

hello,

I received to redlove's from Suttons. As I am new to apple growing I thought I just needed two to pollinate each other, but find now they do not work that way.

I don't have room for another large Apple tree, is there a small tree suggestion you have that I can plant so my Redloves pollinate?

Thankyou

Redloves are also pollinated by normal apples. in the blossom time insects are trajnsporting enough pollen to pollinate. so pollination shoudn't be a problem at all

Dear Mr Kobelt, Please could you let me know if it is possible to grow the Redlove Apple trees in espalier form?
Many thanks, Sheena
