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

Fruto

Very juicy, richly and delicately sweet, without noticeable acidity, with a distinctive, unmistakable spice. Tastes good even while still firm. Pressure-sensitive after picking.

Crecimiento

Medium-strong to strong growth. Suited to garden and espalier training; the fruit is wind-sensitive.

Rendimiento

Bearing starts early, from the 5th to 6th year, later regular and abundant. Strong tendency to drop fruit at tree ripeness.

Observaciones

Higher heat needs, cultivation up to about 350 m, on nutrient-rich, deep soil in a rain-sheltered, well-ventilated spot. Best grown as a protected wall espalier due to scab and wind sensitivity. Tree-ripe mid September to early October, ready to eat late October to late January; keeps 3 to 4 months.

Cuidados

Train as a rain-protected wall espalier to prevent scab. Pick in good time, as fruit drops heavily at tree ripeness.
