Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Dessert apple with high sugar content and a pronounced muscat-and-orange aroma; Cox-like but lower in acidity. Taste rating 2.

Weak growth once in full bearing. Upright, pyramidal, somewhat sparse crown; upright branches with moderate ramification. Wind-firm.

High and regular yields.

Only of limited suitability for the garden. Tends to re-bloom; thinning is advised for adequately large fruit. Stores for about 6 months.

Regular maintenance pruning for continuous shoot renewal to prevent ageing of the wood. Thin fruit to obtain sufficiently large apples.
