Scion

Bedan Apple Scionwood (Spring 2023)


A traditional French bittersweet cider apple. Also known as Bedan des Partes.

Like most old cider varieties, Bedan tends to biennialism. The tree is precocious, and productive, and it is resistant to scab and fireblight. Apples will hang well on the tree.

The apple is a golden orange when fully ripe. The flesh is firm and white. It produces a deep amber, bittersweet juice with a high Brix. Wilding Orchards writes: "This year (2016) we had a few Bedan produce fruit. These small fruit had high sugar levels (Brix 14) with very low acid and a subtle, slightly musky tannin in the background." This mild, fragrant juice is typically used in blends. (From WSU: Tannin (percent tannic acid): 0.14; Acid (percent malic acid): 0.18; pH: 4.43; SG: 1.051; oBrix 10.7.)

Clean vs. Regular

Our clean scion is harvested from trees grown on G.16, which is extremely sensitive to viruses. These trees would not have survived if the scion contained viruses. Our clean wood has not been lab tested. Regular = may contain one of the common latent viruses; this is not usually a problem and can be used with most rootstocks.
