Notes

Newly rediscovered, so far little-noticed variety for fresh eating in late autumn; grows up to mid-mountain sites around 350 m. Slightly raised warmth needs, benefits from a warming climate. Tree-ripe mid October, ready to use October to late November, natural storage about 6 weeks.

Care

For full aroma give a warm, sunny site; wait for tree ripeness in mid October.
