Gravenstein
Gravenstein (Danish: ''Gråsten-Æble'') is a variety of apple native to Gråsten in South Jutland, Denmark. The cultivar was discovered in 1669 as a chance seedling.
==Description and growing conditions==
The 'Gravenstein' plant is a triploid; it requires pollination from other trees, and is a poor pollinator of other apples.The 'Gravenstein' apple has a tart flavor. In the Northern Hemisphere it is picked in July and August and is heavily used as a cooking apple, especially for apple sauce and apple cider. It does not keep well, so it is available only in season. In addition, the short stems and variable ripening times make harvesting and selling difficult. The skin is a delicately waxy yellow-green with crimson spots and reddish lines, but the apple may also occur in a classically red variation. These red apples, known as 'Red Gravensteins', are sports, which are genetically similar to 'Gravenstein', so they are not good pollinators for it, and nor is it for them. The flesh is juicy, finely grained, and light yellow.
'Gravenstein' trees are among the largest of standard-root apples, with a strong branching structure; the wood is brownish-red and the leaves are large, shiny, and dark green. It grows best in moderate, damp, loamy soil with minimal soil drying during the summer months. Locations close to watercourses and edges of ponds are preferred. Gravensteins will not thrive in areas of high groundwater and require moderate protection against wind.
