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

Tasty, often oversized fruit that only colours up well in good light (grade 2-3). Tends to drop when ripe and keeps only briefly; then also usable for cider/must.

Growth

Very strong-growing and healthy tree.

Yield

Vigorous, healthy bearer.

Notes

Somewhat canker-prone on heavy soils. For traditional orchards. Very short shelf life (about 2 weeks).

Care

Pick over promptly when ripe, as the fruit drops easily.
