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 and buttery, fully melting, mildly sweet-sour and pleasant with a variety-typical but faint aroma - more a pear to drink than to chew. Bruises easily and turns mealy quickly when fully ripe.

Crecimiento

Medium vigour; not wind-firm. Suited to garden, espalier and meadow orchard.

Rendimiento

Early into bearing, later cropping richly and regularly.

Observaciones

Prefers warmer, sheltered sites with higher heat needs, in the open up to 300 m, higher as espalier. Tree-ripe early to late October, ready late October to December. Pick before tree-ripeness due to poor wind-firmness. Cold storage until first frost.

Cuidados

Harvest before tree-ripeness since the variety is not wind-firm; handle fruit gently and pressure-free. Ensure good airflow on scab-prone sites.
