Malus domestica \u2018Elstar\u2019 is een bekende appelboom met sappige, knapperige appels. De vruchten hebben een groengele schil met een rode blos en roomwit vruchtvlees. De smaak is friszoet, met een aangename balans tussen zoet en zuur. Een veelzijdige handappel voor wie graag fruit uit eigen tuin oogst.<\/p>\n

Bloesem en appels<\/strong><\/p>\n

In het voorjaar draagt Elstar lichte bloesem die bestuivende insecten aantrekt. De appels rijpen doorgaans in het najaar; het precieze moment hangt af van het weer en de standplaats. Ze zijn lekker om vers te eten en geschikt voor appelmoes, gebak of sap. Laat de vruchten aan de boom voldoende afrijpen en controleer de smaak voordat je de hele oogst plukt.<\/p>\n

Pollination<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having another suitable apple variety with overlapping flowering times nearby helps to ensure a reliable harvest. A suitable ornamental apple tree can also provide pollen. Two trees of the same variety do not provide the same level of cross-pollination as different varieties. Bees and other insects carry out pollination.<\/p>\n

Location and care<\/strong><\/p>\n

Choose a sunny spot in nutritious, well-drained soil. Water after planting and during dry spells. Keep the graft union above ground level and support the tree where necessary. If planting on a patio, use a large pot with drainage holes; check the root ball more frequently in this case and feed according to the instructions on the packet.<\/p>\n

Harvest and growth<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pick the apples when they are ripe and come away with a gentle twist. The weather and the location affect ripening and yield. Thin out a very heavy crop to relieve the load on the branches. The tree sheds its leaves in autumn. In the early years, good root establishment and balanced growth are important.<\/p>\n

Pruning and maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n

In winter, on a frost-free day, remove dead, damaged and crossing branches. Retain short fruiting branches and prune lightly to allow light and air into the crown. Remove shoots growing below the graft union. The final size of the tree depends partly on the rootstock, site and pruning. In severe frost, protect the root ball of potted trees.<\/p>\n
