Winter Banana (synonymous: " Banana of Hiver" or " Flory") is the name of an old variety of Pomme of American origin (Flory Farm, Cass County, Indiana, 1876). There are many alternatives.

This popular variety in the Années 1960 disappeared little by little because it is sensitive to the shocks and thus does not support automatic calibration. Moreover, it is preserved badly at the refrigerator.

The Fruit with the pale yellow waxy skin strewn with red to the insolation is average with large. A kind of seam in relief, characteristic of the variety, often crosses from top to bottom fruit.

The flesh, sometimes dry, is yellow cream-coloured with some greenish zones. It firm, is very sweetened, tender and very fine, is acidulated, raised, as its name indicates it, of a musky perfume pointing out that of the Banane.

Description of the apple tree Winter Banana

The tree is very fertile but without much strength. It succeeds ideally in cord but in hot area because this apple is sensitive cold.

Winter Banana is pollinated by white Calville of winter, Esopus Spitzenburg, Fuji, Golden Delicious, Grenadier, James Grieve and it is a pollinating good for Idared. Best association is with Red Delicious because there is reciprocal Pollinisation.

The variety is resistant to the Tavelure of the apple tree but not to the bacterial Feu, with the Chancre, the Oïdium and the Puceron S.

Collect in the second fortnight of October and until November. Consumption until January.

This variety has a great compatibility of Greffage with many varieties of Pommier but also of Poirier. It thus is often used when it required there to double-graft.
