Malus domestica Reinette de Chênée, also known as Reinette de Chênée apple tree, is an old and heritage variety originating from Belgium. Appreciated for its taste qualities and its hardiness as well as for its good productivity, this variety is ideal for lovers of authentic and tasty fruits.
Description and characteristics:
Reinette de Chênée apple tree is distinguished by its medium-sized apples, often irregular, with a flattened shape at both poles. The skin of the apple is yellow, washed with orange-red on the side exposed to the sun, and has a slightly rough texture. The flesh is yellowish, firm and juicy, offering a sweet taste with a slight acidity, which makes it a delicious apple to bite into.
Characteristics of the Tree:
Height at maturity: for a low-stem fruit tree, the height at maturity is generally 2 to 3 m for a spread of 3 to 4 m. This apple tree is grafted onto an M111 rootstock, of average vigor, adapted to very dry and draining soil, tolerating drought with rapid fruiting.
Flowering: the Reinette de Chênée flowers late, generally in April. The flowers are white with pinkish hues, offering a magnificent spectacle in spring.
Pollinating varieties:
Reinette de Chênée apple tree is self-sterile, which means that it requires the presence of other varieties of apple trees to ensure good pollination. Among the compatible pollinating varieties, we find: Reine des Reinettes, Reinette de Hollande, Belle et Bonne Hochart or Gagnée, Transparente de Croncels, Gueule de Mouton, ...
Fruiting period and harvest:
Reinette de Chênée apples reach maturity in mid-October. The harvest period generally extends from the second half of September to early October. The fruits keep well until December, or even longer in good storage conditions.
Use of the Fruits:
Reinette de Chênée apples can be eaten fresh, used in pies, compotes, or for making cider. Their unique flavour and crunchy texture make them a popular choice for many recipes.
Planting:
Plant your apple tree in a sunny location with well-drained soil. The best time to plant is in the fall, when the tree is dormant.
Watering:
Water young trees regularly to encourage rooting. Once established, the apple tree requires less watering, except in periods of drought.
Pruning:
Prune the tree in winter to remove dead or diseased branches and to promote good structure. Light pruning in the summer can also help improve air circulation and light penetration.
Fertilization:
In the spring, it is advisable to apply a balanced fertilizer to stimulate growth and abundant fruiting. A well-rotted compost can also be beneficial.
Protection against diseases:
Reinette de Chênée apple tree is susceptible to canker. Inspect your tree regularly and treat it with appropriate products if necessary. Good orchard hygiene, such as removing dead leaves and fallen fruit, can help prevent diseases.
Tips and tricks for a good harvest:
- Pollination: Be sure to plant compatible pollinator varieties nearby to improve fruiting.
- Thinning: Thin the fruit early in the season to avoid overloading the tree and to obtain better quality apples.
- Pest Protection: Use pheromone traps and protective nets to protect your apples from harmful insects.
