Pinova
Pinova (or Corail) is an apple cultivar, a cross between a Golden Delicious and a Clivia ; the latter is a cross between a Cox's Orange Pippin and a Duchess of Oldenburg .
It combines the taste of the Cox Orange with the coloration and productivity of the Oldenburg and the shape, storage stability, and shelf life of the Golden Delicious. Its fruits are crisp, with a taste that balances intermediate levels of both sweetness and sourness.
The Pinova was originally bred in Pillnitz (Dresden, Germany), over an 18-year period.
