Collaos is a traditional Spanish hard cider apple variety, and a useful choice for European-style cider blends. The small green apples produce a tannic semi-bittersharp juice.
The apples ripen late in the apple season, usually mid-October.
We are now closed for the 2025 planting season.
Fill in the form below and we will notify you when Collaos cider apple trees are back in stock.
If you do not hear from us by February you can contact us in June to pre-order for the following spring.
Collaos flowers late in the apple bloom season, and is not a good pollinator of other apple varieties.
Although most of Spain has a hot dry Mediterreanean climate, roughly similar to southern California, Collaos comes from the region of Asturias which has a year-round mild wet climate.
Advice on fruit tree pollination.
Collaos is recognised as a traditional local variety by the Regulatory Council of Origin Cider of Asturias.
