Description

Fruit

Deep-red, scab-free dessert apple with Cox aroma; rated 1-2. Prone to fruit cracking and rotting fruit.

Growth

Medium vigour; broad-round, spreading, later drooping crown, dense from heavy branching. Initially steep scaffold branches whose growth later slackens; branches and shoots mostly pendulous. Fruiting wood mainly two-year-old long shoots evenly set with one-year-old spurs.

Yield

Yield starts early and is heavy, with a tendency to biennial bearing.

Notes

Very popular in Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein; Cox-like in flavour.

Care

Formative pruning when young, then ongoing supervision, thinning-out and renewal of the fruiting branches.
