The Suzette apple tree, also called “Suzine”, is a very old variety native to the Gers and Béarn, mentioned as early as the seventeenth century (*Lou trimpe de la lengouo*). It produces small, rounded, very flattened apples with a bright blood-red complexion with stripes. The variety is renowned for its hardiness, its erect habit and its fragrant flowering in April.
The fruits are small, hard, dense, very crunchy, sweet and fragrant. It is excellent raw, and perfect for pies because it gives little juice. The harvest is done in two passes (early October and early November), and storage extends over 3 to 4 months.
Several nurseries note its good vigour and its erect habit, adapted to rich, deep and well-drained soils. The flowering in April makes it a variety protected from late frosts. It is naturally resistant to scab.
Pruning is done at the end of winter to promote fruiting. Please note: this variety is self-sterile, it requires a compatible pollinator nearby.
