Orchard to allow guests to taste historic apples
According to Griessel and Nel who co-authored a book on historic apple varietals, “Apples in the early days at the Cape”, the Kroonappel will be one of the varieties available to taste.
“Further investigation has shown that there were four Kroonappels, but it is most likely that the one around at the Cape in 1723 was the Kroon-Appel with the synonyms Fyne Kroon, Aagt-appel, Engelsche or Hollandsche Aagt or Lekker Beetje”, said Griessel.
