Bisquet

Bisquet is a traditional French variety from Normandy, specifically cultivated for making bittersweet ciders. This variety produces cylindrical-shaped fruit that is yellow with a delicate pale orange-red blush. For optimal growth, plant Bisquet in a sunny location with fertile, moist, yet well-drained soil. The tree typically grows in a spreading dome shape, making it both an attractive and productive addition to any orchard. While Bisquet is known for its productivity, it can exhibit biennial bearing tendencies. Fortunately, this variety is self-fertile, eliminating the need for a pollinator.
