The fruits of the CIVG 198 apple tree are large, weighing between 150 and 200 grams, round or slightly elongated in shape with smooth bright red skin and a light blush. The flesh is yellow, tender, very juicy and sweet, possessing a dessert taste and crisp texture. The variety is distinguished by high resistance to scab and powdery mildew, which significantly eases care and improves crop quality. The fruits have high transportability and can be stored in a refrigerator until May, making this variety attractive for commercial cultivation and long-term storage. The CIVG 198 apple tree is suitable for growing in garden and home conditions, as well as for greening parks and landscape compositions thanks to its decorative form and compact height. The variety has a medium maturity period and high yield, making it in demand among gardeners. For successful growth and development, it is recommended to provide trees with optimal conditions, including a sunny location and fertile soil. Thanks to its hardiness, the variety can be grown in various regions, but in severe climatic conditions, young seedlings require winter cover.
