Planting & Care

Exceptionally juicy and tart, making it a superb choice for cooking, creating rich sauces, and delicious preserves.
Enjoy the large, plump fruits fresh from the tree for a tangy, mildly sweet flavour.
Ready to harvest in September, providing a wonderful autumn crop.
A robust and healthy tree with strong disease resistance.
Reaches a manageable size of H4m x W4m, ideal for most gardens thanks to its SJA rootstock.
