Description
The Reinette Grise du Canada Apple is an old variety that is very vigorous and resistant to diseases, adapting well to many regions. It has very good fertility, although the tree is somewhat susceptible to alternate bearing. From September, it produces large, firm, flattened and irregular fruits. The colour and appearance of the skin are unusual taking on beautiful cinnamon tones and becoming slightly rough when ripe. Its flesh is white, fine, melting, juicy, and deliciously flavoured, balanced between sweet and tart. It can be stored until March, but the flesh becomes more floury over time. It is a perfect apple for cooking and baking.
The "Reinette" Apple family includes more than 50 varieties. Reinette Grise du Canada was first described in 1805 by Clavé. There is no precise information about its origin. When mature, the tree reaches about 6m (20ft) high and has a spread of 4 to 5m (13 to 16ft).
The Canada Reinette Apple is a strongly vigorous tree with sturdy wood and a semi-erect habit. Its crown opens up with the fruit load, allowing for necessary ventilation to prevent disease development. It has low susceptibility to scab. Over time, it tends to take on a slightly weeping form.
Its foliage consists of very large, ovate, slightly hairy leaves that are dark green on top and whitish-green underneath, with deeply toothed margins.
It flowers in April, at the same time as Granny Smith, Queen of the Pippins, Idared and Golden Delicious, which are excellent pollinators. Although self-fertile, the Reinette Grise du Canada apple will have a better fruit set if other apple trees are present.
The apples ripen from September. It is recommended to harvest them at this time and consume them from December to March. The large, flattened fruits have a cinnamon hue when ripe.
Reinette Grise du Canada apples are excellent for cooking, but they are also delicious when eaten raw. They can be used to make compotes, jams, pies, fritters and cakes, or served as a side dish with savoury dishes...
For shipping purposes, our tallest scions may be pruned before shipment. They are suitable for all common training systems: cordons, espaliers, goblets, half-standards, and low standards, but not high standards.

Planting and care
Choose a sunny spot for your Organic Reinette Grise du Canada apple tree. The soil can be slightly chalky or acidic but without excess. Dig a wide planting hole, at least 3 times the volume of the root ball. Simultaneously add organic matter (potting soil, compost...) and a base fertiliser like bonemeal. Do not bury the graft collar. Stake if necessary and water abundantly, even in winter and even if it rains. Fruit trees are best planted between October and March, outside of the freezing period. Container-grown plants can be planted year-round except during periods of high heat or frost.
You can add a small handful of wood ash, rich in potash, during winter, to improve fruiting. Watch out for potential aphid attacks during the season. A white felting 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. Store apples with the stalk downwards, on shelves or in crates. Choose a completely dark, dry and cool place, 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.
