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

Juicy and melting, sweetish and wine-tart, pleasantly spiced. Fruit becomes very large and heavy, regarded as handsome and sound.

Croissance

First vigorous, later medium growth; suited to garden and orchard meadow and all tree forms. Not wind-fast because of the large, heavy fruit.

Rendement

Comes into bearing early; later high and regular.

Remarques

Broadly plantable up to medium elevations (350 m) in a sheltered spot; needs good soils, neither too dry nor too heavy, higher warmth needs. Tree-ripe late September, eating-ripe late Sept to late Oct, keeps about 3 weeks.

Entretien

Choose a sheltered site because of the heavy, non-wind-fast fruit; keep the soil adequately moist.
