Description

The Maggy® Apple Tree is a medium-vigorous variety with good productivity. It produces medium-sized, blood-red fruits. Their magnificent red flesh is veined with white. It is crisp and sweet-tart. The Maggy® Apple Tree is not self-fertile.

 

The apple tree is native to Europe, particularly in France where its presence has been documented since antiquity. The Maggy® Apple Tree is a recent variety of apple selected for its red flesh.

 

The Maggy® Apple Tree has a semi-erect habit, giving it a tall and elegant appearance. It is very productive, and thinning is essential at the start of fruiting to prevent small fruit size and the occurrence of diseases.


Its foliage is composed of very large, ovate leaves, slightly fuzzy and brownish-green on the upper side, whitish-green on the lower side, deeply toothed.
The white flowering occurs in April. The flowering is not afraid of frost. Therefore, the apple tree is suitable for cultivation in all regions. Self-sterile, the presence of apple trees with simultaneous flowering is necessary. The varieties 'Reine des Reinettes' and 'Golden' are the most suitable.
Fruit production begins in late September. The fruits are medium-sized, blood-red. Their magnificent red flesh is veined with white. It is crisp and sweet-tart.

 

These apples are particularly good for eating fresh or in pastries. They can also be used for compotes, cooked dishes, jams, jellies and in savory dishes, in combination with Normandy cheeses, for example.

Planting and care

Choose a sunny location for your Maggy ® Apple Tree, the soil can be slightly chalky or acidic but not excessively so. Dig a wide planting hole at least 3 times the size of the root ball. Simultaneously add organic matter (soil, compost) and a base fertilizer such as crushed horn. Do not bury the graft collar. Stake if necessary. Water abundantly, even in winter, even if it rains. Fruit trees are ideally planted between October and March, outside of the freezing period. Container-grown plants can be planted year-round, except during periods of high heat or frost.

You can add a small handful of wood ash during winter, rich in potash, to improve fruiting. Watch out for potential aphid attacks during the season. A white powdery mildew fungus may appear on the leaves in summer, but it does not harm fruit development in gardens. Harvest takes place in September. Only keep the picked fruits. Store apples with the stem pointing downwards, on shelves or in crates. Choose a preferably completely dark, dry, cool location, but frost-free.

Care

Pruning instructions The pruning of your apple tree can be limited to a simple thinning of dead or obstructive branches at the end of winter, in March. During the first 3 or 4 years, you can also promote the formation of 4 or 5 main branches, giving the tree a goblet shape, which is traditional in fruit tree cultivation. In any case, make sure to leave some spaces in the tree's structure for good air circulation and light. Don't hesitate to thin out fruit clusters in June. Removing some fruits relieves fragile branches and helps achieve a better size.
