Description
Fruit
Very small, irregularly sized fruit, flattened round to cylindrical, medium to dark green with fine white dots and smooth skin. Moderately aromatic, rather tart, very rich in vitamin C.
Growth
Weak-growing.
Yield
Regular and high yield of about 10 kg.
Notes
The self-fertility often claimed for this cultivar is questioned in the source itself. Cross-pollination gives markedly better yields.
Care
Site: The self-fertility often claimed is uncertain; cross-pollination gives markedly better yields, so plant a male partner as well. Care: Weak-growing and therefore well suited to containers and small trellises. The fruit stays small and ripens early to mid October.
