Peso del fruto

260 g

En tercios de mes (principio / mitad / final) para el hemisferio norte en clima templado; la altitud y el año los desplazan.

Fruto

Juicy to very juicy, faintly sweet-sour and weakly aromatic; skin browns at once on temperature change, fruit very pressure-sensitive.

Crecimiento

Initially moderate to strong growth, only weak once in bearing. Fruit wind-firm at first, then dropping heavily.

Rendimiento

Cropping starts early and stays high and regular.

Observaciones

Very good for espalier and home-garden growing up to mid-mountain sites around 350 m. Prefers warm, dry, well-aired sites and rich soils; in humid sites scab risk rises. Tree-ripe late September to mid October, ready to use December to early February, keeps up to 4 months; after removal do not let it after-ripen but use at once.

Cuidados

Pick exactly as tree ripeness begins; handle fruit gently (pressure-sensitive) and avoid temperature swings in storage; a dry, airy site counters scab.
