Evaluation

Self-fertile, very early ripening apricot with outstanding outer appearance. Even with unfavourable weather conditions at flowering time, the robust flowering ensures a yield. 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.
