Discover the Malus domestica 'Pinova', a hand apple that is quickly gaining popularity! With its beautiful yellow-red colour and crunchy texture, this apple is a real treat for the taste buds. The 'Pinova' has a delicious sweet to slightly sour flavour, full of aroma, which is why it is even considered an alternative for lovers of sweet and crunchy apples such as the Pink Lady®.
The harvest time for the 'Pinova' is in September/October, and these apples can be stored for a long time without losing quality. The tree remains quite small, but still produces an abundant amount of apples.
In terms of appearance, the 'Pinova' is a true classic, with a yellow-red blush on the sunny side and a medium-sized, sometimes slightly elongated shape. But don't be fooled by its traditional appearance, because this apple is packed with flavour and crunch.
In addition to its delicious fruiting properties, 'Pinova' is also an excellent choice for the garden because of its good disease resistance and reasonable productivity. Although the tree is not self-pollinating, planting another apple tree nearby such as 'Topaz' or 'Golden Delicious' can help increase yield.
Discover the origins of the 'Pinova', a modern variety discovered in Germany in 1986. This apple is the result of a clever cross between the Golden Delicious and the Clivia, resulting in an ideal combination of colour, taste and texture.
