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

Tart, tannin-rich and rather flavourless cider/cooking apple (rated 4-), barely suitable for dessert use.

Growth

Vigorous, wind-firm tree.

Yield

Marked biennial bearing, alternating each year between very heavy crops and total failure; overall very high yield.

Notes

Early orchard variety, robust against scab, canker and mildew, but fruit strongly prone to bitter pit. Good as a blend component for sweet early-variety juices. Only short storage (1 to 1.5 months).
