Evaluation
Very attractive variety with excellent taste that travels and stores well. The high cracking resistance allows for a long picking season. Underripe fruits have a tendency to taste sourish and slightly bitter.
The cultivation recommendation regarding tree health excludes areas with high rainfall.
