The brown matapfel (syn.: Unterländer apple, Schwarzlicher, Schmiedeapfel, Badischer Brauner, Echter Kohlapfel, Schwarzer Matapfel) is the oldest known apple variety (approx. 1600). The medium-sized fruits have an appealing red color and are ideal for making wine or juice due to their sweet, wine-like aroma.

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
