Here are some Rubinettes from my multigraft tree. It took a number of years to make a good crop of good fruit. Now I understand why people like them. Very flavorful and I agree, among the best.
I have Queen Cox and King David on the same tree. I really enjoyed both of those, but I think I like Rubinette the best.

I think Iâll re-graft one of the mini-trees with Rubinette scion this winter. Maybe the Jonagold, which I love but is frustrating. The parent tree has too much disease and alternate year bearing. Also, despite being on M27, my Jonagold is about 12 feet tall, too big for my purposes.
Itâs interesting, since both Jonagold and Rubinette have a Golden Delicious patent. Also, I like Queen Cox, which is either a sport of Coxâs Orange Pippin or a Cox progeny, and Rubinetteâs other parent might be Cox.
I do like those Rubinettes!
After reading your posts about Rubinette and seeing the pictures I definitely have to add this variety. Do you all know where to order scion wood from? Thanks & Congrats they look delicious!
My 2nd Rubinette dropped. The graft is low on the tree and the apples do not get as much sun as it should. I also left too many apples on this 3 yr old graft. It wonât surprise me if it will go biennial next year.

These are always my favorite apples. No spray organic and smaller this year and much less red than normal years but very lucky to have any apples! Got hit with more cm than any year before and even found some pc earlier in the year. I did use beneficial nematodes applied to the soil in the summer.
