Ingrid-Marie

Chance seedling

Ingrid -Marie, also Hoed Orange, is one of the traditional apple varieties of the old country.

Description

Ingrid -Marie was drawn around 1910 on the site of the School of Horticulture Flemløse on the island of Funen (Denmark) as a chance seedling. As one of the parent varieties Cox Orange is suspected. This bright red solid shell, the color may continue in the extreme flesh, suggests a kinship with Renettensorten.

Ingrid -Marie is especially suitable for not too warm, rather humid locations.

The fruits are ripe mid to late September and about storable until January.

The sweet - sour taste of Ingrid -Marie shows echoes of Cox Orange, where the tree is much higher yielding and more resistant than Cox Orange. Today Ingrid -Marie is increasingly displaced by more sweet and high yielding varieties.

Particularly vulnerable is this variety of fruit tree cancer.
