Mid-time to late-time
Productivity
Much anther dust of high quality.
Picking period
It takes quite a long time for the apples to fall of the tree (January). Red Sentinel is not suitable for consumption.
Shape
Small apples with an attractive red color. The apples (or branches with apples) can also be used for decorative purposes. Of course, the pollination of other apple varieties is the main purpose for planting Red Sentinel in the orchard.
Specialties
Not sensitive for scab and mildew. We advise to use at least three different varieties of ornamental apple trees in order to have enough anther dust available during the flowering period of the relevant apple variety.
