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

Nicely coloured fruit with a faint Cox-like aroma.

Growth

Tree grows moderately to strongly and very steeply upright.

Yield

Comes into bearing late and then crops in alternate years.

Notes

Relatively robust, for orchard meadows; keeps about three months.

Care

Because of the steep growth, shape leading branches early; balance alternate bearing by thinning.
