Binet Rouge: The benchmark for superior quality dry ciders

The Binet Rouge cider apple tree is an iconic variety of French orchards, renowned for its incomparable cider-making qualities. With its bittersweet fruit and low acidity, it is particularly appreciated for the production of full-bodied and aromatic dry ciders. By combining a balanced flavor with attractive productivity, the Binet Rouge is a strategic choice for market gardeners and professional producers.

Arboriverse, your specialist wholesale supplier of cider apple plants, offers rigorously selected Binet Rouge plants to guarantee optimal fruiting and superior quality harvests.


Fruits designed for exceptional ciders

Binet Rouge offers apples perfectly suited to processing into dry cider, thanks to their unique taste profile and ideal structure.

  • Size and shape: The fruits, small to medium in size, are round and regular, providing visual uniformity ideal for professional orchards.
  • Bittersweet flavor: The flesh reveals a perfect balance between sweetness and bitterness, with a slight acidity, ideal for producing full-bodied and harmonious ciders.
  • Versatility: Mainly used for cider, Binet Rouge can also be transformed into artisanal juice or used in blends to enrich other varieties.

By integrating Binet Rouge into your orchard, you ensure the production of refined ciders, prized by connoisseurs and consumers.


An ally to optimize your orchard

Cross-pollination for optimal yields

Binet Rouge requires cross-pollination to maximize its productivity. Combine it with compatible varieties such as Cartigny, Douce Moën, or Rouge Duret to increase your yields.

At Arboriverse, we advise you on the best varietal combinations to guarantee optimal yields, reaching up to 30 tonnes per hectare.

A culture adapted to temperate climates

  • Rich, well-drained soils: This variety prefers slightly acidic or neutral soils.
  • Ideal exposure: A sunny or semi-shaded location allows for regular fruiting and quality fruit.
  • Hardiness: Although robust, the Binet Rouge requires careful maintenance to limit alternation and prevent certain diseases.

Simplified crop management and maintenance

Binet Rouge is a hardy variety, but requires rigorous cultural management to express its full potential.

  • Regular pruning: Careful pruning promotes consistent production while limiting alternation.
  • Disease prevention: Thanks to its low susceptibility to scab, Binet Rouge adapts well to organic or sustainable management. However, vigilance is required against powdery mildew and fire blight.
  • Thinning: This practice improves the quality of the fruit and the regularity of the harvests.

With Arboriverse, benefit from practical advice to maximize the productivity of your plants and minimize maintenance constraints.
