The champagne renette is a variety of the cultivated apple .
Lineage and Distribution
According to Lauche, the variety is said to come from Germany or, according to Petzold, from France, but nothing more is known about its origin. Both report unanimously that Adrian Diel first described them in 1799 as "Loskrieger". It is partly still known under this name in southern Germany. In 1857 it was recommended for general cultivation at the second meeting of German pomologists in Gotha and has been more widespread ever since.
The variety 'Champangnerrenette' is currently listed on the Red List of endangered indigenous crops in Germany . This red list includes all species groups of indigenous useful plants and their varieties, local varieties and varieties that were adapted to local conditions in Germany and were of importance.
Cultivation
The champagne renette thrives equally well in any soil. The fruits are stuck and inedible directly from the tree, so they are also ideal for planting paths and streets. According to Petzold , the variety is very wind-resistant and is recommended for consumption from March, also due to its good storability.
The champagne renette is moderately to severely susceptible to scab .
use
The variety is particularly suitable for drying and must preparation and can also be used as dessert fruit. The taste is described as juicy, pleasantly tart and slightly sugary. The storage period does not begin until after the New Year and the fruit lasts until June.
Description of the variety
The 'Champangnerrenette' is a medium-sized table apple . It has a typical flat shape, with a width of about 65 mm and a height of 47 mm. The calyx pit is open, small-leaved and remains green for a long time, with five green rays. The calyx itself is sunk in, with fine folds that merge into hump-like ribs. The stalk is thin and short, the stem cavity wide and deep red in color with green stripes something russeted .
The basic color is a pale green-yellow. If the fruit is well sunlit, the sunny side is only weakly flamed, pale ocher. Lenticels are very small, green to brownish.
The 'Champangnerrenette' has no particular smell and does not show any wilt. The pulp has little smell, is white, firm and juicy. The taste is slightly sour, hardly sweet and weakly aromatic (similar to an over-the-top Borsdorfer )
The core house is wide, very open, almost up to the chalice cavity. The variety has many seeds, with a somewhat imperfect, irregular shape
The tree grows cautiously, its shoots are brown-red and covered with wool. It bears annually, but needs very good soil and warm locations for it, here it is preferably used as a bush tree.
The buds are small, heart-shaped, red and adjoining. The flower is insensitive to weathering and frost. The leaf is medium in size, oval-round, and approximately three inches long and four inches wide. The thin leaf is deep and sharply serrated, the petiole is thin and about 2.5 cm long.
The fruits can easily be confused with the varieties 'Uhlhorns Champagner Renette', ' Weißer Wintertaffetapfel ', ' Minister von Hammerstein ' and ' Auralia '.
