• Blossom : diploid variety with high quality pollen with a blooming period medium to late (as Gala)

• Good Pollinators : Gala, Braeburn, Granny, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious or Malus (50% INRA® PERPETUE® Evereste or INRA® Beaugène, 50% Goldengem)

• Growth Habit : As the original variety, Redstar is a type 3 half spread tree with opening branches under the crop weight. Vigour is strong.

• Shape : Typical of the standard Elstar

• Colour : Redstar presents a very nice and wide, striped bright red colour. Red can cover 75% to 100% of the fruit surface. This is major evolution within the available Elstar clones in Northern Europe.

• Flesh : exceptional eating quality, Redstar presents no difference from the original variety. Sweet, flavourful but also acidic, it is a very good variety.

• Size : Redstar has a better size compare to the original variety.

• Harvest : as the standard clone. As the % of colour is higher than on the standard clone, harvest can start earlier, keeping a green back ground colour, improving so the storage potential and firmness.

• Highly productive variety with a little sensitivity to biennial bearing. The variety is early bearing. Because of its strong vigour, the rootstock PAJAM® 1 Lancep is recommended.
