Our Variety Assessment

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

Reinette Abry is a genuinely versatile apple, suitable for fresh eating and cooking and particularly good for juice. Its white flesh is juicy, sweet and mildly sharp, with a pleasant rather than overpowering flavour. The medium-sized yellow fruit ripens from the second half of September. We recommend it for family orchards seeking several uses from one cultivar.

Description

Reinette Abry is a medium-sized yellow apple, used for eating fresh, cooking, and especially for its excellent juice.

This variety was raised by Francois Abry, a nurseryman at Montligon in the northern Val d’Oise region of France, in the late 19th century.

It is also known in England as Reinette Obry, where it is considered primarily as a juicing / cider variety.

Reinette Abry tends to be a light cropper, but the tree is vigorous and not much troubled by diseases.
