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

Large fruit, uneven in size and shape. Very juicy, melting, sweet with fine acidity; on optimal sites with a delicate muscat aroma. Ripe fruit is very pressure-sensitive.

Croissance

Medium-strong to stronger growth. Wind-prone due to fruit size and unsuited to standards. Frequent pruning against ageing needed, otherwise small stunted fruit forms.

Rendement

Starts early, later medium-high and regular.

Remarques

High quality only on warm, sheltered sites with nutrient-rich, adequately moist soils; cultivation up to 350 m. In cooler locations unsatisfactory fruit quality; best considered on a sheltered wall espalier. Do not pick too early, when the ground colour lightens. Blossom mid-late, tree-ripe late August to early September, ready to eat September; keeps only 1 to 2 weeks.

Entretien

Prune regularly to prevent ageing and stunted fruit. Grow sheltered, not as a standard. Pick only when the ground colour lightens.
