 Origin :
 History : Selected in the United States in 1924 and introduced in France in 1938. Variety resulting from the cross between the Wolf River variety and Malus Niedzwetzkyana (the original red-fleshed apple tree).
 Fruit Description : Large, deep red apple with copper highlights on the part not exposed to the sun. The flesh is red with white stripes, soft, sweet and fragrant. It is crisp when picked. Excellent.
 Use : Very good eating and baking apple.
 Harvest : October.
 Storage : Until the end of December.
 Pollination : Cross-pollination.
 Disease resistance : Good general resistance, particularly to scab.
 Available rootstocks :
 - M106 : For outdoor apple trees. Adapts to almost all soils and is particularly well-suited to Brittany. Resists root asphyxiation very well and attracts very little woolly aphids. Good rooting, which gives it good resistance to vole attacks.
 Fruiting fairly quickly in 3-4 years.
 Lifespan: 60 years and over.
 - M26 : For trained or low-stem apple trees, ideal for small city gardens. Small apple tree (3m) with very rapid fruiting (2-3 years). Not suitable as a tree for outdoor use due to its weak root system (but much better than M9) unless it is well supported for life.
 Lifespan 40 years and more.
