Evaluation
This late ripening, cracking resistant variety has an attractive appearance and a long harvest period.
In the past warm years, the harvest period has been significantly earlier at various locations.
Some additional pollinators with the same flowering time should be planted to guarantee high yield.
For site selection take into account the high susceptibility to ESFY.
