  • Publication number: 20130031686
    Abstract: A new and distinct Malus domestica Mill. apple tree variety named ‘Renoir’ particularly characterized by moderately vigorous tree with good habit and good productivity. Resistant to scab. The tree produces well on two-year-old branches, is self-thinning and naturally keeps to one or two apples per cluster. The shape of fruit is conical-obloid, slightly flattened. Yellowish-green ground colour with russeting over 50-60% of the surface; fruit growing in direct sunlight may take on a light red hue on the exposed part. The flavour is excellent with a very intense aroma similar to Reinette blanche du Canada, but sweeter. The fruit is good to eat fresh, even directly after harvest. The flesh is yellow, firm and juicy. May be stored until April.

The fruit is medium-large with a smooth, uniform green colour. The fine, crispy, juicy, pleasant flesh is yellow with an excellent flavour, feeling fresh in the mouth because of its high sugar content and elevated acidity. The taste is similar to Granny Smith but sweeter and more fragrant. Long storage capacity and long shelf life.
