Synonyms: Gueule de mouton, Schafsnase, Kuileman, Nez de mouton
Origin: Belgium/Germany
History: Suited to most apple-growing soils, with a preference for heavier types. It blooms late, starts cropping relatively early, and can yield very heavily, but is prone to biennial bearing. Formerly widely planted in South Limburg and later also in central Netherlands; the Red Keuleman was particularly common.
Fruit Description: Small to medium fruit with green to yellow-green skin, often red-striped on the sun side; russeting is common around the stem. The flesh is greenish white, firm, fairly dry and somewhat coarse, with low sweetness, strong acidity and little aroma—best used for cooking rather than fresh eating. Harvests late (late October to mid-November) and stores well; a red form occurs that colors dark red with fine russet specks and patches.
