Lobo
Seasonality: Autumn (late)
Lobo – a variety developed in 1898 in Canada (Ottawa) as a McIntosh seedling from open pollination. In Lithuania, it is one of the most popular and widely grown varieties, valued for its dessert-quality flavor and very attractive appearance. It fills the gap between autumn and true winter varieties.
Appearance: Fruits are large to medium-sized, flat-round, and regular in shape. The skin is smooth, firm, greenish-yellow, but almost entirely covered with an intense dark red or purplish blush with a bluish waxy bloom.
Flavor: The flesh is snow-white, very tender, juicy, fine-grained, and soft. The flavor is excellent—sweet-tart, with a characteristic aroma typical of this variety group. It is a classic dessert apple enjoyed by both children and adults.
Tree characteristics: The variety has very good winter hardiness (well-suited to the Lithuanian climate) and early, abundant cropping. Although the trees are susceptible to apple scab, with proper care they produce excellent yields. Fruits ripen in late September and, under controlled storage conditions, keep until January.
