Description
Fruit
Extremely long-keeping winter culinary apple (7-8 months in store), flavour sweetish and rather bland (grade 3-4).
Growth
Triploid variety with strong to very strong growth and a broadly rounded crown. Frost-hardy blossom.
Yield
Cropping starts late.
Notes
Robust against scab and mildew, low susceptibility to canker. Formerly valued for its exceptional keeping. For standard orchards.
Care
Be patient with the late onset of bearing; as a triploid, ensure pollinators.
