Kulono renetas (Coulon’s Renette)

Seasonality: Winter

Coulon Reinette - an old variety bred in Belgium (Liège region) in the mid-19th century and named after its creator, L. Coulon. It is a classic representative of the Reinette group, valued in Europe for its outstanding flavor and suitability both for dessert use and for processing (especially cider making and baking). In Lithuania, this variety is mainly known to collectors and enthusiasts of historic orchards.

Appearance: Fruits are medium-sized to large, somewhat irregular in shape, flat-round or conical. The skin is rather rough, matte, greenish-yellow, and on the sunny side develops a faint brownish-red blush. A characteristic feature of reinettes is the presence of russeting - spots or net-like patterns on the skin.

Flavor: The flesh is yellowish-white, dense, very juicy, and crisp. The flavor is rich and dessert-quality, sweet-tart, with a strong, distinctive aroma and a light wine-like aftertaste that becomes more pronounced during storage.

Tree characteristics: The variety has moderate winter hardiness and therefore performs better in sheltered orchard locations. It shows moderate resistance to apple scab. Trees bear abundantly, but the fruits reach full flavor maturity only some time after harvest. When stored in cool conditions, they keep until March - April.
