List of apple varieties
Fruit view

Caudle , Carousel or Cameo is a medium-sized apple variety from the USA, with an elongated shape. The fruit peel is yellowish-red to deep red and lightly striped, the flesh is medium-firm and juicy and has a slightly sweet taste. The apple is characterized by a good shelf life.

The variety goes back to a spontaneous hybrid found in 1987 in the US state of Washington in the grower of the namesake Darrel Caudle, probably from Red Delicious and Golden Delicious .

Caudle is grown and sold worldwide as a club variety under the brand name Cameo . The variety is not available to direct marketers .

Cultivation

Caudle is one of the most productive varieties under the climatic conditions in northern Germany , but it is particularly sensitive to late frost. In Saxony, during an evaluation of several apple varieties for table fruit cultivation, it was found that caudle shows a pronounced alternation and has a "poor" taste after prolonged storage.

In Germany, Switzerland, Great Britain and France, caudle was grown on 420 hectares in 2008 , almost 8,000 tons of apples were harvested. Five years earlier it was only 2,800 tons.

marketing

The variety was initially marketed by the American company Dole Fruits . Since 2001 it has been offered on the European market under the brand name Cameo . The European brand Cameo is owned by the French tree nursery Dalival , marketing in Europe is carried out by Cameo Europe SAS.
