Description
Fruit
Very juicy, melting or half-melting, sweet-winey and spicy; but tends to small fruit.
Growth
Weak growth; good for the garden and very good as espalier. Fruit not wind-firm, dropping early especially on dry soil.
Yield
Cropping starts very early and becomes high and regular; thin when the set is heavy.
Notes
Grows up to mid-mountain sites around 350 m. Needs warmer, well-aired sites with dry air plus rich, moist soils and intensive soil care. Tree-ripe from early October, ready to use November to January, keeps 3-4 months; check for rot and shrivel.
Care
Keep soil evenly moist and rich, as fruit drops in drought; thin heavy sets; on poor sites grow rain-sheltered on espalier (against scab).
