The Reinette Descardre apple tree, also known as the Reinette d’Espagne, is an old heirloom variety obtained and put on the market in 1834 by Mr. Benoit Descardre, nurseryman in Chênée. It is known for its large, conical and rounded fruits, as well as for its good sugar-acid balance.
The fruit is large in size (75-80 mm), with a homogeneous conical-rounded shape. The epidermis, with a velvety appearance, is washed with orange-red on the sunny side. The flesh is tender and yellowish, offering a good balance between sugar and acidity, with a medium aroma and a medium-crunchy texture.
The Reinette Descardre is an excellent table apple. It is harvested from the second half of September and is ideally eaten from October to November. However, it quickly becomes mealy after this period.
The tree has a strong vigour with long, tall frames that arch slowly with fruiting. It belongs to type III of fruiting.
The Reinette Descardre is a heritage variety that is very common in the Hauts-de-France and Wallonia. It is appreciated for its large fruit and its good taste balance, despite a tendency to become floury after the optimal consumption period.
