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

Very hard fruit, juicy at tree ripeness but becoming mealy quickly later; plain taste (rated 3+).

Growth

Strong-growing tree.

Yield

Tends to fruit drop at ripeness.

Notes

Westphalian regional variety for meadow orchards; barely disease-susceptible, but keeps only about 1 month.

Care

Harvest in good time, as the fruit drops easily at ripeness and quickly turns mealy.
