About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A cross of ‚Golden Delicious’ and ‚Jonathan’ that combines large, juicy apples with the sweetness of one parent and the aroma of the other. Because it is triploid it is barely usable as a pollinator itself and needs two pollen donors nearby. Vigorous and productive, but prone to scab; in a wet year it pays to keep a watchful eye on it.
Crisp and very juicy, a full-bodied play of sweetness and acidity that gives the apple its reputation as an all-rounder. Stays fresh in store for months after harvest.
