ALLA

The Alla apple variety is a high-yielding late-autumn variety, bred in New Zealand in 1957 as a clone of the Simirenko Russet. The trees are of medium height with a round, dense crown of oval-spherical shape. The variety is characterized by good winter hardiness and drought resistance, which allows for successful cultivation in various climatic conditions. However, during epidemic years, it may be affected by powdery mildew and scab, requiring timely plant protection.

The fruits of the Alla variety are of medium to large size (150-180 g), widely-round or round-conical shape, sometimes slightly asymmetrical. The main fruit color is light greenish, with no covering color or a slightly expressed diffuse crimson blush on the sunny side. The flesh is greenish-white, dense, juicy, with an excellent dessert taste, sweet with a slight acidity and a refined caramel aroma. The fruits have good transportability and an attractive commercial appearance.

The ripening period occurs at the end of September to the beginning of October, which allows the apples to be used both for fresh consumption and storage. The variety is distinguished by high productivity and stable fruiting. Thanks to its taste qualities and resistance to natural stresses, the Alla apple tree is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking to obtain a quality harvest with good taste characteristics.
