Our Variety Assessment

Its strengths, growing requirements and the conditions in which it performs best.

Ascahire is a northern French variety particularly well suited to cool climates and growing. The vigorous, cold-hardy tree has good disease resistance and reliably produces large yellow-orange apples. Their lively sweet-sharp flavour works well for fresh eating, cooking and juice. The variety is not self-fertile and therefore requires a compatible pollinating apple tree nearby.
