Evaluation
Self-fertile, very early ripening apricot with outstanding outer appearance. Because of the pronounced acidity in the skin the fruits should not be harvested too early. Storage is recommended to reduce the acidity. The buds have a high risk to bacterial canker; this should be taken into consideration for site selection.
A minimum order of 25 trees per fruit grower is required.
