Apple growing in Canada can be traced back to the early 17th century to Louis Hébert, who sailed from France to Canada as Champlain's apothecary. Hébert planted vegetables where Quebec City now stands, and on the height above the St. Charles River he planted an orchard of apple trees sent to him from Normandy. It is thought that the Fameuse cultivar originated in this, or subsequently planted, orchards. Today Fameuse accounts for 2 per cent of Quebec's apples.
