About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A Swiss variety from ‚Golden Delicious’ and a ‚Cox Orange’ seedling that carries the high aroma of the Cox into a somewhat tougher, more productive apple. The fruits stay rather small, but in flavour it is one of the most intense dessert varieties. Its weak growth makes it ideal for small gardens, but it demands good soils and careful tending.
Firm and juicy with a dense, many-layered aroma and a fine balance of sweetness and acidity. An apple for connoisseurs that makes up for its small stature with great flavour.
