Skin rough, subastringent or austere, and adheres to the flesh. Flesh yellowish, juicy ;

The crop of Colvilles first comes to maturity in August, and continues till November. 
The peculiarity of the variety consists in a successive production of flowers and fruit 
through the season. The original tree, according to M. Andre Thouin, bears 3000 apples 
annually. The first flowering takes place in April; the second, in June. It is of French 
origin.
