Description
Fruit
On suitable sites juicy, melting to half-melting, sweet to strongly sweet, low in acidity, without a pronounced aroma. Also for juice when hard-ripe.
Growth
Medium to strong growth for garden and meadow orchard. Fruit clings firmly and must be hand-picked.
Yield
Early into bearing, later high and regular.
Notes
Prefers warmer, deep, sufficiently moist loam with higher heat needs, recommended up to 350 m. Tree-ripe late October, ready mid November to late December, keeps up to 2 months. True-to-type trees are barely available from nurseries.
Care
Hand-pick as the fruit sits firmly on the tree. Provide deep, moist loam soil.
