Variety description

10 August 2026

Gros doux and its variants, such as Gros Doux Blanc, represent a group of traditional apple varieties historically widespread in France. The fruits ripen in October, and their consumption period falls in December and January. They have a flat shape with a narrow base, white juicy flesh, and a sweet taste.

The trees are characterized by high vigor, an upright crown, precocity, and the ability to bear fruit annually. The varieties are well adapted to local conditions and are resistant to winds. The primary use of the fruits is processing into cider; historically, the trees were also used as rootstock.
