Medium to large fruit with the characteristic ribbed shape of Calville Blanc, yet not as flattened. Mainly distinguished by its deep red color and earlier ripening time. Soft juicy coarse-grained flesh is great for fresh eating: subacid, sweet and aromatic with hints of strawberry. But like its Blanc counterpart, Calville Rouge really shines as a culinary apple, holding its shape in pies and tarts, yet melting in your mouth with a smooth and creamy texture. Keep for a month or two.
Blooms midseason. Z4. NEW! (Standard: 3–6' bare-root trees)
