Pepa Apple on G.935 (Spring 2024)
A traditional sweet cider apple from Spain.
This is an Asturian cider (sidra) apple, approved by The Regulatory Council of Origin Cider of Asturias. The fruit yields a sweet juice (Brix ~ 15; TA ~ 2.1 g/L; tannins ~ 1.0 g/L).
Spanish cider apples have not yet been widely tested in the United States, but the native climate of these apples should be taken into consideration. Asturias enjoys abundant year-round rainfall, mild summers, and temperate winters. Costal winter temperatures are typically in the 50s and summer temperatures are in the 70s.
