ROAT(S) KING Red Delicious®

ROAT(S) KING Red Delicious® is a branch mutation of Hapke. The mother tree was discovered in Algund (near Merano, South Tyrol, Italy) because of evident better overcolour compared to the mother variety. 

ROAT(S) KING Red Delicious® is a fully blush strain with intense bright dark red overcolour. Fruits start colouring weeks earlier compared to other strains. Fruit shape is naturally long and symmetric, which results in an elegant, friendly aspect. Taste of ROAT(S) KING Red Delicious® is appealing and typical for Stark.

The vigour of ROAT(S) KING Red Delicious®  trees is of semi-spur type, comparable to growth of Early Red One® Erovan(s).
