Description

Fruit

Dessert apple with white, firm flesh. Individual fruits vary noticeably and are often angular. Good flavour (grade 2+).

Growth

Medium-strong growth. Compact, flat-globular, at most medium-sized crown. Main branches droop, main and side branches tend to go bare, side branches partly forked. Fruiting on one- and multi-year short shoots that bear terminally. Largely wind-firm.

Yield

Yield sets in early, regular and high.

Notes

Suitable for orchard meadow and garden. Thrives on almost any site and is robust overall. A genuine recommendation for meadow orchard and home garden. Stores about 3 months.

Care

When shoot growth weakens, frequent renewal via monitoring cuts is needed to counter bare-wood formation.
