Description
The 'Priam' Apple Tree is a vigorous variety with rapid fruiting. It produces fruits with an average diameter of 7.5 to 8 cm (3in) which are yellow with red stripes, and conical in shape. Their flesh is juicy, crisp and very pleasant. The early harvest takes place in September, and the fruits can be stored in a cool place until November. The 'Priam' Apple Tree is not self-fertile.
The apple tree is native to Europe where its presence has been documented since ancient times. The 'Priam' Apple Tree is a variety selected in 1951 at the Perdue Agricultural Experimental Station in Lafayette, Indiana, USA. It is the result of cross-breeding between a variety of 'Golden Delicious', PRI 14-126, which has genes for scab resistance, and the 'Jonathan' variety.
The 'Priam' Apple Tree has an upright habit, giving it a very elegant and slender appearance. It has regular and uniform productivity. Thinning may be necessary to prevent small fruit size and diseases.
Its foliage consists of very large, ovate, slightly hairy leaves that are dark green on top and whitish-green underneath, with deeply toothed edges.
The white blossom occurs from late March to mid-April and is not susceptible to frost. Therefore, apple trees are suitable for cultivation in all regions. It is self-sterile, the presence of apple trees with flowering at the same time is necessary, 'Golden Delicious' and 'Granny Smith' are the most suitable varieties.
Fruiting begins in September. The fruits can be stored in a cool place (cellar or refrigerator) until November. The fruits, with an average diameter of 7.5 to 8 cm (3in), are yellow with red stripes and conical in shape. Their flesh is juicy, crisp and very pleasant.
These apples are particularly good for eating fresh. They can also be used in pastries, jams, jellies, or in savoury dishes, paired with cheeses, for example.

Planting and care
Choose a sunny location for your 'Priam' Apple tree, the soil can be slightly chalky or acidic but not excessively. Dig a large planting hole at least 3 times the volume of the root ball. Add organic material (topsoil, compost...) and a base fertiliser such as crushed horn. Do not bury the grafting collar. Stake if necessary. Water abundantly, even in winter, even if it rains. Fruit trees are best planted between October and March, outside of the freezing period. Container-grown plants can be planted all year round except during periods of high heat or frost.
You can add a small handful of wood ash, rich in potash, during winter, this will improve fruiting. Watch out for possible aphid attacks during the season. A white powdery fungus, powdery mildew, may appear on the leaves in summer, but this does not harm fruit development in gardens. Harvest takes place in September. Only keep picked fruits. Apples should be stored with the stem downwards, on shelves or in crates in a completely dark, dry, cool, frost-free place.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
