Variety description

10 August 2026

In old French pomological literature, the Violette variety is described as an apple tree named for the distinct taste and aroma of its flesh, which resembles a violet. In current catalogs, the variety is characterized by vigorous tree growth, a vertically spreading crown, and abundant fruiting.

The local variety Baguette Violette, common in the northern regions of France, is a late-maturing dessert variety. The fruits have a balance of sweetness and acidity, but are characterized by a short shelf life and are recommended for consumption within a few weeks after harvesting at the end of September.
