Description of the plant:
Rubinola is a midseason apple tree variety producing excellent fruit of fine flavour. It was bred in the Czech Republic and registered in 1997. The apples are medium large or large, very attractive red or red-striped, aromatic and juicy. The flesh is medium sweet, creamy white and crispy.
