Since he didn't graft, the fruit from the trees he planted would have mostly been unpleasant to eat. But still fit to ferment alcohol from, or feed to livestock.

The calvados beverage is not only made in the Calvados departement. There are 3 different appelations:
- regular calvados made from cider from different parts of Normandy
- calvados Pays d'Auge which must be made from cider of that eponymous Pays d'Auge area (which is within the Calvados departement)
- calvados du Domfrontais which is made from cider of the Domfront area in the Orne departement.
