New Products PINK LADY OF THE NORTH The Pink Lady of the north: an alternative name for the new apple variety Maribelle. Some twenty years ago, the late Piet de Sonnaville, a private plant breeder, crossed the Meiprinses and Gloster apple varieties. He then crossed the resulting apple variety with Elstar. One of the progeny of that cross is now marketed under the name of Maribelle by his son Ben de Sonnaville, working together with Jan van Ingen of the Boomkwekerij van Rijn tree nursery and Mathieu Gremmen. Due to its pinkish-red blush, Maribelle looks a bit like a Pink Lady apple. Maribelle is a ‘fruit grower-friendly’ apple. The variety has a high yield, a good fruit size, easy colouring, high pack-out and low susceptibility to diseases. “Maribelle has a fresh taste, a good sweet and sour balance, a sugar content of approx. 14ºBrix and a fi rmness of 7 to 8 kg/cm 2 and has a crisp bite as well,” says Gremmen, summarising the qualities of Maribelle. The apples are picked in the same period as Golden Delicious and Jonagold and keep for a long time. Unlike most other new apple varieties, Maribelle will not be marketed under a tightly managed ‘club’ concept, but as a variety which can be grown and sold freely. However, the parties that took the initiative to develop and introduce Maribelle, want to support and coordinate the sales eff orts. And Tanalith is a relatively new preservative for impregnating wooden posts. During the recent apple day at Klein-Altendorf, researcher Achim Kunz demonstrated this product to PWO Robert Lindner and Brändlin guarantee posts impregnated with Tanalith. 42 25-YEAR WARRANTY ON WOODEN POSTS since Maribelle is not a club variety, lots of trading companies have already expressed an interest in the variety. Maribelle is still only produced on a small scale. De Sonnaville himself has 1 hectare which is in its third year of growth. A total of 7,000 trees were planted at other companies in 2009 and another 58,000 trees will follow in the 2009/2010 season. “It depends on the demand for these apples how many trees will be planted in the future,” says nurseryman Van Ingen. In addition to being grown by fruit growers, Maribelle can also be found in a large number of trial gardens in Europe. Maribelle has a pinkish-red blush. Photos: EFM visitors. The use of fl uoride-containing salts for impregnating wooden posts was banned in Germany last year. Expectations are that preservatives containing chromium salts or creosote oil will also be banned there within a few years. Posts preserved with Tanalith have been on sale in Germany for the past two years. They have been available much longer in the UK. Tanalith is made of copper salts, triazoles (fungicide) and water-repellent additives. Tanalised posts (posts impregnated with Tanalith) are claimed to last much longer than those impregnated with the preservatives used in the past. Two German suppliers even provide a 25-year warranty on tanalised posts. PWO Robert Lindner GmbH provides a staggered warranty on tanalised posts made of German pine. From the 11th to the 25th year, the amount the company will pay for posts covered by the warranty drops from 100 to 15%. Brändlin uses Scandinavian pine posts preserved with Tanalith in its anti-hail net structures. According to this company, these posts will last for at least 30 years. Brändlin provides a full 25-year warranty on the posts.
