Reinette de France apple

Reinette de France is an old French dessert apple. Its origins are uncertain but it is still widely found across the north of France and the French-speaking area of southern Belgium (Wallonia).

The apples are a gold green color, often with extensive russeting. They ripen in late October, and can be stored for several months.
