Growing and Training

Binet Rouge is a weak-growing but relatively heavy-cropping variety, and well-known as a biennial bearer. It is important to prevent it setting too much fruit in the "on" year.

In traditional French orchards production on mature trees will be in the range 20-30 tonnes per hectare, which is slightly below the average for French cider varieties.

Binet Rouge flowers over a long period and is a useful pollinator of other varieties.

Binet Rouge is regarded as susceptible to fireblight, mildew and scab in French orchards, and resistant to canker.
