Description
Fruit
Fine dessert apple of outstanding quality (rating 1-2). Sweet with restrained acidity, richly spiced with a muscatel note.
Growth
Triploid variety, vigorous and spreading. Crown broad and often drooping; scaffold branches obliquely upright with enough side wood, fruiting wood of medium length. Wind-firm.
Yield
Comes into bearing early, medium yield with a tendency to alternate bearing.
Notes
Old variety, recommended by the NRW orchard-protection committee as an orchard variety. For orchard, limited for the garden. Thrives better in cool locations and higher altitudes and on loose soils; overall a robust tree.
Care
Thin blossoms or fruit to counter alternate bearing; little maintenance pruning required.
