Variety description

10 August 2026

The name Quittenapfel is applied to a number of historically known varieties whose fruits have a similarity to quince in shape, color, or taste. This group may include such varieties as Weißer Winter-Calville, which has many synonyms, and Lemon Pippin, known as Englischer Quittenapfel, as well as other regional and folk varieties.

Since this name is not botanically unique, there are no uniform morphological traits or resistance characteristics for it. The use of these apples has historically varied from fresh consumption to culinary use, including processing into sauces and baked goods.

When encountering this name in catalogs, clarification of the specific botanical variety is required, as it is descriptive in nature. The name should not be confused with the variety «Квинти» (Quinte), which is a modern Canadian summer variety and is unrelated to this group.
