Frequin rouge

General information

Origin : Variety originating from Côtes-d'Armor, mainly planted in Normandy
Picking date : Harvest time: early October
Uses : Bitter variety with early maturity, beginning of October. Susceptible to scab. Its susceptibility to canker in the early years is also linked to its high vigour. As with many early varieties, fruit storage on the ground is rather average. Despite these weaknesses, it fully expresses its potential in medium to poorly fertile soils.
Cider: bitter.
Thanks to IFPC for the information.
