Apple Bionda® Bella

Product information "Apple Bionda® Bella"

With Bionda Bella® we introduce the third variety in the yellow Bionda® apple series: Marilyn is the earliest and sweetest, Patrizia is rather sour and Bella is closest to Golden Delicious - balanced in flavour, it has a very good shelf life and an excellent texture. 

Form/appearance

Round, slightly tall, the "greenest" Bionda® variety

Taste/flavour

Bella® is the successor of the good old Golden; it is THE Bionda® variety that is the best overall.  It has the storability of Patrizia and the best texture; the flavour is balanced in the autumn months (sweet with good acidity, then it gets sweeter - just like Golden Delicious).

Growth/health

Compact, weak growth, very well-branched; resistant to scab; no russeting.

Harvest/maturity/storage

Approximately 20 September, ready to eat immediately, but gets sweeter the longer it’s stored; very good shelf life until February/March, its crispness and freshness keeps longer and is more distinct than Golden Delicious

With this designation, we emphasise only those plants that according to our experience work (almost) everywhere; they are easy to grow and bear fruits or produce flowers quickly and without problems. These are plants that can be enjoyed immediately and without effort once planted.
• This plant was bred by Lubera in Switzerland and placed on the market after extensive testing at our facilities in Buchs (CH) and Bad Zwischenahn (D). In 20 years of work, Lubera's founder and breeder Markus Kobelt has bred more than 80 of his own new varieties for the home garden; they all have the goal of providing you, our customers, with more experience and flavour, easier growing and more resistant, more robust varieties.
