Flamenco, also known as Ballerina Obelisk, a registered trademark under the name Ballerina, is a cultivar of domesticated apple that bears perfect apples for eating fresh, but is mainly grown for its unusual ornamental properties,[1] growing in a straight up in columnar style, with many small fruit bearing branches.[2]
Falmenco was developed in Kent, England, between the years 1950 - 1999 by the "East Malling Research Station" by crossing a hybrid between the English Cox's Orange Pippin and the French Court Pendu Plat with the "Wijcik McIntosh", which itself is a columnar mutation[3] of the Canadian McIntosh apple.[4]
The apple itself is very good for fresh eating, having a sharper style flavor like the Cox's Orange Pippin, it harvests at late season, and keeps fresh about one or two months. It is a very attractive tree, but needs good gardening skills and is susceptible to many apple diseases.[4]
