Planting Conditions: The Red Boskoop apple tree prefers well-drained soils to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. A mix of loam, clay, and sand provides good drainage while retaining moisture. Avoid planting in heavy clay soils that do not drain well, as these can lead to poor root development and increase the risk of diseases.
Growth Rate: The annual growth rate of the Red Boskoop apple tree typically ranges from 12 to 24 inches (30 to 60 cm) per year under optimal growing conditions.

The Red Boskoop Apple Tree Description

The Red Boskoop apple tree is a classic variety known for its large, distinctive apples and robust growth. The apples have a striking red skin with yellow-green undertones and are characterized by their firm, juicy flesh. They offer a delightful sweet-tart flavor, making them ideal for both fresh eating and culinary uses, such as baking and cider making. The tree produces attractive white to pale pink flowers in spring, which not only beautify the landscape but also attract pollinators.

Pruning Advice:

Dormant Season: The best time to prune is during the dormant season, typically from late winter to early spring (January to March), before new growth begins. This helps shape the tree and encourages healthy new growth in the spring.

Summer Pruning: Light pruning can also be done in mid-summer (July to August) to remove water shoots or to thin out crowded areas, improving airflow and light penetration.
