Variety description

10 August 2026

The APPIA variety is considered one of the oldest known apple varieties, historically associated with mentions in the works of Pliny the Elder. In modern pomology, there are discussions about a possible connection or confusion of this variety with the French variety Api, also known as Lady Apple.

The tree has a medium level of vigor and reaches a height of 4 to 8 meters. The medium or large-sized fruits are characterized by yellow-green skin with a red blush and creamy-white, firm, crunchy flesh with a sweet taste.

The variety is late-winter, with fruits ripening at the end of October. The plant shows resistance to low temperatures in the range of -15...-20°C and is self-fertile. It is traditionally used as a dessert variety, maintaining popularity in collections of autochthonous species.
