Bedan des Parts is a traditional French hard-cider variety, widely-grown in the cider-producing region of Normandy. It produces a good quality bittersweet juice, which is usually blended with other varieties.

The apples are harvested towards the end of November, when the skin has turned from yellow-green to golden-orange.

Growing and Training

In traditional French orchards production on mature trees will be in the range 30-35 tonnes per hectare, which is above average for French cider varieties.

Bedan flowers very late - towards the end of May or early June. This makes it a good choice for areas prone to late frosts, but you will need other late-blooming apple varieties nearby to help with pollination.

Bedan is regarded as susceptible to fireblight and scab in French orchards.

History

The origins of this variety are unknown, but it has been grown in Normandie since the mid-19th century.
