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

Small-fruited, heavy-bearing cider apple (grade 4-), mainly spread in south-west Germany; not suitable for fresh eating.

Growth

Vigorous tree, but very prone to scab.

Yield

Heavy-bearing.

Notes

Because of its strong scab susceptibility, no longer recommended even as a cider apple. Traditionally common in the south-western wine regions.

Care

Avoid damp, scab-favouring sites; choose an airy location.
