Reinette d'Anjou is an old variety of apple, vigorous and productive, particularly suited to home gardens or organic orchards. The fruit are yellowy green with a red blush. The flesh is slightly soft, but still crunchy, with a very good balance of acid to sweetness. They are good eating apples from harvest in October into the winter, and will keep for cooking up until April.

It's not widely grown, and deserves to be better known. The fruit is a good size, and juicy, so it's a good one to juice. The origins of this variety are not really known, but it is typical of the varieties that have emerged from the Anjou area.
