Description

Fruit

Attractively coloured fruit with medium aroma (rated 3+).

Strong-growing, very healthy tree.

Yield

Heavy bearer; the fruit tends to drop easily later on.

Notes

Regional variety in Westphalia and a typical orchard variety for meadow and garden, recommended in NRW. Summer apple, keeps only about 2 weeks.

Care

Pick over the tree several times by size, as the fruit drops easily later.
