Franquette remains the classic French choice when nut quality and exceptionally late budbreak matter more than rapid production. Its elongated nuts contain light-coloured, fine-flavoured kernels with good storage ability. The tree becomes large and vigorous and bears mainly at shoot tips. We would choose it for a long-lived orchard rather than for obtaining heavy crops quickly in a confined space.
