SIZE: generally of the second grade; apples from young trees often approach first grade.
EYE: open, with short sepals.
STALK: usually short and thick.
The COLOUR of the skin varies strongly, and the apple can be heavily russeted. Some apples are almost entirely smooth and then flushed with brownish red at the sun side.
The FLESH is pleasant, soft, winelike sour, softened by some sweetness.
TIME OF USE: January - April. First grade for dessert and kitchen; in Germany recommended for cider and compote.
The TREE is a strong grower, therefore most suitable as a standard tree with medium harvests. Recommended for the orchard and along roadsides. The apple will be successful on the market.
