Storage

Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Description

Fruit

Very soft, whitish-yellow dessert and culinary apple; flavour strongly light-dependent (rated 2-3): sun-side fruit very good, shaded fruit bland to bitter. Keeps only about 3 weeks.

Growth

Medium vigour, very frost-hardy; tree scab-prone but otherwise healthy.

Yield

Ripens unevenly, so several picking rounds are needed.

Notes

Suited to standard orchards with reservations. Aroma strongly depends on light exposure.

Care

Pick over several times owing to uneven ripening.
