Technical details:
Botanical name: Malus domestica 'Emperor'
Seed quantity: 10 selected seeds
Plant type and growing cycle: Perennial, deciduous fruit tree. It takes several years to begin producing fruit, with a multi-year production cycle.
Plant height: The average height of an Emperor Apple tree can vary between 3 and 5 meters, depending on the rootstock used and pruning practices.
Uses: Excellent for fresh consumption thanks to its crunchy and juicy flesh. Also ideal for making juices, jams, cakes, and preserves. A valuable addition to the table and kitchen.
Tasting Notes: Large fruits with smooth skin and a deep, uniform red color. The pulp is white, firm, crunchy, juicy, and characterized by a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, with a distinctive aroma.
Hardiness and Origin: A highly prized variety in Italy, particularly resistant to low winter temperatures and adaptable to a variety of Mediterranean and continental climates. Native to northern Italy.
Sowing period: After a period of cold stratification (generally 60-90 days at temperatures between 2°C and 4°C), the seeds should be sown in spring (March-April).
Harvest period: Late variety, ripening typically occurs in October.
Optimal conditions for germination: Requires cold stratification to break dormancy. Subsequently, sowing in a moist, well-drained substrate, with a constant temperature between 18°C and 22°C, promotes germination.
Soil type: Prefers deep, fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. The ideal pH is between 6.0 and 7.0 (neutral or slightly acidic).
Recommended exposure: Requires full sun for at least 6-8 hours a day for abundant fruiting and optimal fruit color.
Germination time: After stratification, the first sprouts may appear within 2-4 weeks, if environmental conditions are favorable.
Pot or open ground cultivation: Although open ground cultivation is preferable for the tree's full development and optimal production, young plants can be started in very large pots before final transplanting.
Quality Specifications: Non-GMO (non-genetically modified) seeds, selected to ensure high germination and varietal fidelity.
