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

Large to very large, firm fruit with a mainly tart flavour (3+); stays firm when baked and browns little.

Growth

Triploid variety, at first strong then medium in vigour. Crown conical to broad-round, wide-spreading and open; sturdy but poorly branched limbs. Wind-firm.

Yield

Yield begins late, then even and heavy.

Notes

Classic baking and culinary apple, keeps about 6 months; recommended as a traditional-orchard variety in NRW.

Care

Maintenance pruning promotes better branching and prevents premature ageing of the wood.
