Variety Fernette

Origin:

A pollinating variety resulting from the crossbreeding between Franquette and
Lara ®, quite recently carried out by INRA (1995)

The tree:
  
  • average vigour
  • semi-erected to semi-spread out bearing
  • late bud-breaking: around April 20th - 30th
  • Anthesis: rather late, around April 25th - May 10th
  • very important anthesis: Fernette is an excellent pollinator for Lara variety and for the beginning of the female flowering of Fernor
  • late female flowering
  • fruiting on lateral twigs
  • better fruiting and yield than Franquette
  • rather impervious to anthracnose, moderately sensitive to blight

The fruit:
  
  • large, slightly elongated walnut
  • thin, well joined nutshell 
  • light coloured kernel, nice taste, very easy to break
