The Colapuis variety, also known as Nicolas Puy, Colapuits or Colapuy, is an ancient heritage variety from the North of France. Renowned for its exceptional hardiness and impact resistance, it is ideal for family orchards. However, it has problems with alternating production.
The medium-sized fruit (60-80 mm) has an elongated and homogeneous shape. The epidermis is thick, with a dominant green-yellow colour, covered with a dark red to purple tint on more than 60% of the surface. The flesh is fragrant, crunchy, with a good balance between sugar and acidity. Colapuis is excellent for table-top, cooking, cider and juice.
The apple of the Colapuis apple tree is versatile, suitable for various uses: knife, cooking, cider and juice. It is harvested from the end of October to the beginning of November and keeps very well until April. The optimal ripeness for consumption is from December to January.
The Colapuis apple tree has medium vigour with dense, slender branches (type II-III fruiting). The foliage is of low density but of exceptional quality in untreated orchards.
Originally from the Crimea and brought back in the 19th century by a soldier named Nicolas Dupuis, Colapuis is very common in the high-stem orchards of Avesnois and Picardy thanks to its hardiness.
