Autumn Apple Tree 'PAULA RED'
'Paula Red' is a dessert apple discovered in the USA in 1960. It quickly won gardeners' hearts with its bright colour and refreshing flavour. If you are looking for an apple tree that gives an abundant harvest while other varieties are still ripening, 'Paula Red' is an ideal choice.
Why grow 'Paula Red' in your garden?
Beautiful fruit: medium-sized apples with a regular round shape. The skin is almost entirely covered with an intense dark red-purple blush and small pale dots.
Gourmet flavour: the flesh is white or cream-coloured, very fine-textured, crisp and exceptionally juicy. The flavour is refreshing, with well-balanced sweetness and a slight acidity, somewhat reminiscent of 'McIntosh'.
Versatile: although they are dessert apples, they are excellent eaten fresh and also suitable for juice and jam, as the flesh holds its texture well.
Autumn harvest: the apples ripen in late September or early October.
