Description
Fruit
Half- to fully melting, fine-grained, juicy fruit, sweet and mildly spiced; the aroma shows even when hard-ripe. Large fruit.
Growth
Medium-strong growth.
Yield
Late to start bearing, then regular medium crops of consistent quality.
Notes
For garden and orchard up to about 350 m. Best on warm, nutrient-rich, moderately dry soils; scab-prone at humid sites. Tree-ripe mid-September to mid-October, ready to eat mid-October to mid-November, keeps about a month.
Care
Harvest shortly before tree ripeness because of heavy fruit drop. Avoid humid sites because of scab.
