The apple doesn't fall far from the treeThe Ilzer Rosenapfel originated around 1840 in Ilzberg by chance, so it was not a planned breeding. However, the variety spread rapidly, and by around 1920, the Ilzer Rosenapfel was one of the main varieties in eastern Styria. In the markets of Vienna, it was and still is, rarely but nonetheless, offered as »Weinler«. The Ilzer Rosenapfel remains a regional variety to this day; the trees are widespread in Styria as well as in southern Burgenland. And of course in Ilz – which is proven by the well-signposted Rosenapfelweg.
