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

Tart-aromatic with a lemony note (rated 2-); pale flesh that barely browns when baked. Ready to eat only once the green skin colour lightens, sometimes from January.

Growth

Tree very vigorous and vital.

Yield

Winter apple, harvested around mid to late October.

Notes

For garden and orchard; stores very well until May (about 7 months) without losses.

Care

Choose a well-ventilated site, as the variety is prone to fruit scab.

Site, soil, hardiness and growth follow the species Apple unless the variety states otherwise. Will it grow where you live? → Check your site on the species page
