Duchess of Oldenburg (apple)
Duchess of Oldenburg is a variety of apple that originated in Russia and is known for its hardiness and early ripening. It is also known as Borowitsky or Charlamowsky, and in Russia, it is often referred to as Borovinka.
History[edit]
The Duchess of Oldenburg apple was first described in 1804 in Russia. It was introduced to England in 1817 and to America in 1835. The apple is named after the Duchy of Oldenburg, a historical region in present-day Germany.
Description[edit]
The Duchess of Oldenburg apple is medium-sized with a round shape. The skin is smooth and has a yellow base with red striping. The flesh is white, crisp, and has a tart flavor. It is often used for cooking and is known for its excellent apple sauce and apple pie qualities.
Cultivation[edit]
The Duchess of Oldenburg apple tree is known for its hardiness, making it suitable for colder climates. It is resistant to many diseases that commonly affect apple trees, such as apple scab and fire blight. The tree blooms early in the season and produces fruit early as well, typically in August.
Uses[edit]
While the Duchess of Oldenburg apple can be eaten fresh, it is most commonly used for cooking. It is particularly good for making apple sauce and apple pie. The apples also store well, making them a good choice for winter use.
