Description
Fruit
Pure yellow dessert apple; develops fine sweet aroma in mild climates (e.g. Mecklenburg), reaches only medium quality in the Westphalian region (grade 2-).
Growth
Vigorous tree.
Yield
Heavy drop at ripening makes it hard to judge the optimal harvest date.
Notes
Limited cultivation suitability. Clearly prone to mildew and scab, partly to canker too. Keeps only briefly (about 0.5 to 2 months).
Care
Pick early and in several passes because of heavy drop at ripening. Thin the crown to reduce mildew and scab pressure; cut out canker.
