Description
Fruit
Large-fruited, juicy and semi-melting, sweet and barely tart, without pronounced aroma.
Growth
Medium vigour for garden and orchard meadow. The large fruit is not wind-fast and trees can exhaust themselves.
Yield
Cropping starts early and later stays moderate and nearly regular.
Notes
Broadly plantable on warmer, wind-sheltered sites with nutrient-rich, moist soils; also at medium elevations up to 350 m. Higher warmth needs. Tree-ripe from early September, eating-ripe mid Sept to early Oct, keeps 2 to 4 weeks.
Care
Harvest 5 to 8 days before tree ripeness, as soon as the first sound fruits drop. Care regularly; place wind-sheltered as it is not wind-fast.
