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

Acidic-aromatic apple (rated 2); the best aroma develops only from around March.

Growth

Weak-growing tree.

Yield

Long-storing but with heavy losses (about half the crop lasts to April).

Notes

Connoisseur variety with higher care needs. Very long-keeping (7-8 months) but very prone to storage rot, so only about half the fruit survives until April. Inherits mildew susceptibility from its parent Jonathan; low susceptibility to scab and canker, prone to sooty blotch.

Care

Cut out mildewed shoots because of susceptibility; inspect storage frequently and remove rotting fruit early.
