Description
Fruit
Strikingly red-coloured dessert apple with perfumed, sweet-aromatic fruit (grade 2-).
Growth
Strongly growing tree. Frost-hardy, still suitable for higher elevations.
Yield
Regular cropping on suitable sites.
Notes
For orchard meadow and garden. Prefers well-ventilated sites and cool locations. Somewhat prone to mildew and scab, clearly prone to fruit rot (Monilia). Stores about 2 months.
Care
Choose an airy site and thin the crown to reduce brown rot and fungal pressure; remove rotting fruit.
