DESCRIPTION

Koksa Pomarańczowa - this is an old and highly prized variety which produces a moderate amount of fruit usually on alternate years. The fruits are small or medium-sized, spherical or ovular. The greenish skin is quite thick, smooth, dry and decorated with an orange blush that has carmine red streaks and stripes. The fruit stands out as having remarkably tasty flesh - fine-grained, with a crispy texture, aromatic, sweet, yet slightly acidic.

ADVICES

The tree is best planted in a sunny position. It grows well in fertile, sandy-loam soil which is moderately moist, and has an optimum pH in the range of 6,2-6,7.

To stimulate future growth the tree should be pruned in the first year immediately after planting. Formative pruning should be executed on the main stem 20 cm above where the planned future branches will grow. The other branches should also be cut, reducing their length by one third. The best time to prune the apple tree is annually in the spring. Koksa Pomarańczowa pollination requires the presence of other varieties flowering at the same time. Best results can be achieved by planting with varieties Antonówka Zwykła, Boiken, Golden Delicious, James Grieve, Jonathan, Oliwka Żółta, Spartan, Wealthy, Idared, Mclnntosh.
