‘Sohngårdsholmparken’ is a unique fruit-oasis in the city where those who are interested in apples can combine history and relaxation in nature.

Crab apple trees

When the apple trees were planted in 1984, there were around 300 trees with more than 120 different kinds of apples, primarily "paradise apples". In 2007, the population of trees was heavily thinned out, leaving just around 150 trees the following year.
