Description
The 'Reinette d'Armorique' Apple Tree is a hardy variety, of medium vigor and fertile. It produces fruits with an average diameter of 6.5 to 7 cm (3in), round, yellow washed with carmine red, marbled with cork and stained with rough brown. Their flesh is white-yellow, fine, acidic, crisp, dense and fragrant. The harvest takes place in November and the fruits are consumed from January, when they reach ripeness, until June. The 'Reinette d'Armorique' Apple Tree is not self-fertile.
The apple tree is a native tree in Europe, and especially in France where its presence has been documented since antiquity. The 'Reinette d'Armorique' Apple Tree is a very old variety cultivated in western France for centuries.
It is a tree with a trailing habit, giving a very elegant weeping appearance. It has regular and uniform productivity. In case of high productivity, thinning is necessary to avoid small fruit size and the occurrence of diseases. Its foliage is composed of very large, ovate, slightly hairy leaves, dark green above and whitish green below, deeply toothed. The white flowering occurs late, in May. The flowering is not afraid of frost. The apple tree is therefore suitable for cultivation in all regions. Self-sterile, the presence of apple trees whose flowering occurs at the same time is necessary. The varieties 'Golden Delicious', 'Idared',and 'Reine des reinettes' are more suitable. The harvest takes place in November and the fruits are consumed from January, when they reach ripeness, until June. They keep very well when stored cool. The fruits, with an average diameter of 6.5 to 7 cm (3in), are round, yellow washed with carmine red, marbled with cork and stained with rough brown. Their flesh is white-yellow, fine, acidic, crisp, dense and fragrant.
These apples are particularly good for eating fresh. They can of course be used in pastries, jams, jellies or in savory dishes, in combination with cheese for example.

Planting and care
Choose a well-sunny location for your 'Reinette d'Armorique' Apple tree; the soil can be slightly chalky or acidic but without excess. Dig a wide planting hole at least three times the volume of the root ball. Simultaneously, organic matter (topsoil, compost, etc.) and a base fertiliser such as bonemeal should be added. Do not bury the graft collar. Stake if necessary. Water abundantly, even in winter, even if it rains. Fruit trees are ideally planted between October and March, outside of the freezing period. Container-grown plants can be planted all year round except during extreme heat or frost periods.
In winter, you can add a small handful of wood ash, rich in potash, to improve fruiting. Watch out for potential aphid attacks during the season. A white powdery mildew caused by a fungus, powdery mildew, may appear on the leaves in summer, but it does not harm fruit development in gardens. Harvest takes place in September. Only keep picked fruits for storage. Apples should be stored with the stem downwards, on shelves or crates. Choose a location preferably completely dark, dry, and cool but frost-free.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
