The Sweet Möen Apple Tree: A traditional and versatile variety

The Douce Möen cider apple tree is a traditional variety that combines productivity, robustness, and exceptional taste. Ideal for professional cider producers, it is distinguished by its sweet, tangy, and very fragrant fruits, providing a perfect base for sweet and balanced ciders. Arboriverse, your specialist wholesale supplier of cider apple plants, will help you integrate this essential variety into your orchards.


The advantages of Douce Möen

Exceptional fruits for cider

  • Attractive appearance: Elongated cylindrical apples with golden yellow skin with red highlights.
  • Rich and complex flavor: A perfect balance of sweetness, acidity and powerful aromas, offering ciders that are both light and aromatic.
  • Versatility: In addition to cider production, the fruits are suitable for making artisanal apple juice, jellies, or even in cooking to accompany savory dishes.

Thanks to their small size and optimal juice yield, Douce Möen apples are particularly prized for sweet cider blends.


A robust and efficient tree

Adaptability and hardiness

The Douce Möen apple tree thrives in fertile, well-drained soils. Its ability to withstand temperate climates makes it ideal for French cider-producing regions. With its rapid fruit set, it's an attractive option for producers looking for rapid, substantial harvests.

Ease of management

With a semi-erect habit and a well-branched crown, this tree is easy to maintain. Regular pruning is enough to maintain abundant and quality production.


Maximize your performance with Arboriverse

Harvest and productivity

  • Period: Harvest in October, ideal for immediate transformation into cider or juice.
  • Productivity: Although alternate, the variety offers generous harvests in years of full production.
