Evaluation
Lövöpetri (S) is well suited for mechanical harvesting due to its suitable even tree shape. Because of the large, firm fruits and aromatic taste Lövöpetri (S) is ideal for the fresh market. The yield decreases with increasing growth. Stronger growing rootstocks should only be used on poor soils.
