Evaluation

One of the most important varieties for mechanical harvesting and also very useful for preserve, frozen food or further industrial processing purposes. Aromatic taste and low acidity makes it suitable for the fresh market. Interesting characteristics of the fruits are high firmness of the flesh and good, dry healing of the stalk. Ungarische Traubige is a main variety in Hungary. This cultivar prefers warm and protected sites. Further studies conclude, that with increasing growth the crop load decreases. Because of that, for regular high yields the rootstock choice should be adapted to the sites conditions. Ungarische Traubige is less sensitive to Monilia disease and Stecklenberger disease (PNRSV) of cherry.
