BELONGS TO CATEGORIES Fruit trees
Burkhard Gesenzer family from Switzerland have been involved in breeding fruit trees and shrubs ever since late 19th century, around 1889. Lubera® trademark was initiated by Markus Kobelt from the third generation of this family, and offers a wide range of quality and extraordinary fruit varieties which have either unique taste or colour, disease resistance or reliable fruiting, or possibly all of this together.

Lilly® is one of the MALONI® apple series which are dwarf, scab resistant apple trees suitable for both container and garden growing. It produces large and beautiful apples that can be eaten off the tree or stored by about late January. The skin is soft yellow with pink or carmine marbling taking up anything up to two thirds of the surface. The taste is absolutely sweet with zero acidity. The flesh is a little less juicy and medium firm. Lilly® is a heavy cropper producing a lot of fruit from young age.

Apple trees like medium fertile, well-drained soil and full sun. They cannot grow in compacted, heavy clay or water-logged soil. Being self-sterile it needs another pollinator for heavy crop, such as Fuji, Gala, Golden Delicious, Golden Reinette, Granny Smith, James Grieve + Red, Kent, Melrose, Opal, Pinova, Rajka, Rubinette, Spartan, Starking a Topaz. Hardy to min. -29°C (USDA zone 5) and suitable for all regions including colder ones.
