Filippa (apple)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Filippa apple

Filippa is a Danish apple cultivar, created by schoolgirl Filippa Johannsen (1842–1930) in Hundstrup, on the island of Funen.[1] Some sources say the apple originates in 1850;[2] other sources say 1881.[1]

Sonneruplund recommends this apple variety for private gardens, as it can be grown without the use of pesticides; it can make both an eating and a cooking apple.[3]
