The tastiest yellow apple there is!
After years of dedication and experimentation, retired tree grower, Adrie van Liere, developed this exceptional new apple variety. Its golden yellow skin, kissed with a pinkish-orange blush, reveals firm, aromatic flesh. Apple 'Glory of Kapelle' has a unique flavour profile with tart notes followed by a slightly sweet finish. It makes a fine dessert apple for eating fresh and is also good for storing. Originating from Kapelle in the Netherlands, Apple ‘Glory of Kapelle’ pays homage to the region’s rich fruit-growing heritage and celebrates Adrie van Liere’s remarkable legacy of cultivating and improving fruit varieties for over half a century. This one-of-a-kind variety is perfect for apple enthusiasts looking to expand their collection with something truly unique as well as for novice growers seeking an apple that stands out from the rest!

Fruit trees do not suffer weed competition well. Keep weeds and grass clear from within a 30cm radius of base of the tree. In spring, while the ground is moist, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost around the base of the tree, taking care not to mound it up against the stem. This will help to retain moisture throughout the summer. Feed and water apple trees during particularly dry periods.
Pruning fruit trees begins immediately after planting. Remove the central stem to just above the highest side branch. For the following 3 years, prune only the tips of the remaining main branches by one third in winter. Aim for about six main branches which will form the frame of your tree, with fruiting sub branches growing off of them. From the fourth year, some sub branches can be pruned out at the union where they join the main branch, to allow new sub branches to take their place.
In order to produce the best quality, largest fruits, the fruits should be thinned leaving two fruits remaining per cluster.
