click fraud protection

The late ripening apple variety Baldwin (Syn.: Woodpecker, Roter Pepping, Roter Baldwin) originally comes from Massachusetts, USA (1740) and bears bright red fruits. The good shelf life and its pleasantly sweet-sour taste make Baldwin a popular table and commercial apple.

  • Ready for harvest from November to March
  • Medium-sized, round to flat-round fruits
  • Skin initially pale yellow; bright red on the sunny side with clear white-yellow dots
  • Firm, juicy flesh with a sweet-wine aroma and balanced acidity
  • Easy to store, less prone to damage in transit
  • Vulnerable to scab

I studied agricultural science in beautiful Weihenstephan. In addition to gardening (I mainly grow vegetables and herbs), my heart beats especially for the animal world. No matter if dog, guinea pig, hedgehog or bee - everyone should feel comfortable in my garden.
Favorite fruits: watermelons and raspberries
Favorite vegetable: potatoes
