Cider Apple ‘Michelin’ | Bare Root

An esteemed cider apple variety, producing sweetly-flavoured, yellow-green fruits

A long-established cider apple, Malus domestica ‘Michelin’ was raised by M. Legrand of Yvetot, Normandy, and later introduced into Herefordshire in 1884. Cropping from mid-autumn onwards, this variety produces small, pale green to yellow fruits that have a sweetly-flavoured juice which is wonderful for blending. Interestingly, this cultivar was named after M. Michelin of Paris, an original promoter appointed by the French Government for the study of cider fruits.
