Pollinisation

autostérile (a besoin d'une variété pollinisatrice)

En tiers de mois (début / milieu / fin) pour l'hémisphère nord en climat tempéré ; l'altitude et l'année les décalent.

Fruit

Soft, buttery and melting, juicy, richly sweet and faintly tart, delicately spiced. Quality depends on site: tasty from warm positions, only semi-melting from cool ones.

Croissance

Vigorous growth; suited to orchard meadow and garden. Fruit usually wind-fast until tree ripeness.

Rendement

Cropping starts medium-late to late, at the earliest from the 8th year, then high and regular.

Remarques

Broadly plantable up to medium elevations; prefers warmer, nutrient-rich, moist soils in open positions, copes with cooler soils too. No frost hollows or damp sites (scab). Pick-ripe mid Sept to early Oct, eating-ripe Oct to late Nov, keeps 4 to 5 weeks.

Entretien

Choose an open, airy position against scab; avoid frost hollows and damp sites.
