The apple is the favorite fruit of the Germans. No matter how often bananas, mangoes, and papayas try to compete. It’s unfortunate that apples also arrive in containers and that we are increasingly losing both flavor and biodiversity. This has many consequences. The attention for apple man Eckart Brandt has remained unbroken for years. Just as he sits on the sofa that NDR has placed under his old apple trees, he must already set off for Milan. He has saved more than 350 apple varieties in his Boomgaarden project near Stade. He talks about his favorite apples and about varieties that do not cause allergies. He shares information about the original apples in Kazakhstan, about wonderful orchards, and where to find them. Brandt provides current sources for fruits and trees for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
