This variety fruits later than the Bluecrop variety (late July – first half of August). Growth is weak to moderately strong. The fruit is very large, flattened, and covered with a light waxy coating. The flesh is firm, wine-sweet and aromatic, but only tasty when fully ripe. The main advantage of the variety is its high fertility. Unfortunately, there is a danger that some of the fruit may not reach full maturity before the onset of autumn ground-frosts during cold summers.
