Echte Knausbirne

Sabor

Sensibilidad y resistencia

Polinización

autoestéril (necesita una variedad polinizadora)

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

Fruto

Juicy fruit with a tart-sweet, spicy flavour. The flesh turns soft and mealy quickly after picking, so it must be processed promptly.

Crecimiento

Vigorous tree with low site demands.

Rendimiento

Comes into bearing early, later high and regular.

Observaciones

Robust utility variety for traditional orchards. Very undemanding on site, no special heat requirement, grows even above 350 m. Blooms mid-early to mid-late. Slight scab tendency in damp sites, otherwise very robust; somewhat frost-sensitive when young.

Cuidados

Pick close to ripeness (mid-Sep to early-Oct) and process at once, as fruit goes mealy fast. Protect young trees from hard frost.
