BULMER'S NORMAN is an English cider apple, a bittersweet that blooms early and is a triploid. Bulmer is an import introduced from Normandy at the beginning of the 20th century. The tree is vigorous and biennial bearing. Large in size, the fruit is greenish-yellow and produces a sweet astringent juice that ferments quickly to a mild bittersweet cider with a hard and bitter tannin. This variety was popular to produce stock for standard trees and is called by the English a "stem builder."
