About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
An old, self-fertile variety with large, round to oval, greenish-yellow fruits. It ripens in high summer and is popular as a good pollen donor. The tree crops heavily and early, but is sensitive to sharka, so choose an airy, sunny site and keep it healthy.
Sweet, juicy and savoury flesh that comes away easily from the stone. A versatile fruit for eating fresh as well as for compote and jam.
