Kermerrien is a productive Breton variety that is relatively easy to grow when its vigour is controlled. Its highly aromatic juice combines bitterness with more acidity than many French bittersweet apples, bringing freshness and balance to blends. It can also produce a light single-variety cider. In very wet climates, however, its susceptibility to canker requires careful site selection and orchard management.
