Description
Fruit
Red cherries (yellow forms also exist). Good to very good cup with livelier acidity.
Growth
Small, compact bush due to dwarfing gene – allows high planting density and easier picking.
Yield
High yield, but requires good fertilisation. Prone to overbearing and dieback.
Notes
Rust-susceptible. Very important parent cultivar (Catuaí, Castillo, Catimor lines).
