Vilberie Cider Apple

bare-root trees
Malus spp.
Late fall.

Full bittersweet cider apple. Probably originated in Brittany, France. Brought to England in the late 1800s by HP Bulmer.

Medium-soft flesh is somewhat spongy with low acidity and a nice astringency. (SG 1.044; acidity 0.27%; tannin 0.41%; Brix 11.5) If you’ve been looking for late-ripening bittersweets as we have been, try this one. We’re excited about it so far. Small-medium fruit is roundish and obscurely ribbed. Resembles Stark and Baldwin, about half covered with a brownish-red blush, with a few short darker red stripes. By mid-October the green has still not begun to turn yellow. The stem is quite long and thin.

Our scionwood came from the USDA ARS, Geneva, NY. Blooms late. Z4. (Semi-dwarf: 2½–5' bare-root trees)
