Maintenance advice : At the end of winter, cut off any incumbent branches, to ventilate and maintain a harmonious and balanced form. Shorten any branches too long at a young age and then every 4-5 years to rejuvenate. For trellised forms, in summer, reduce spring shoots by 2/3 in length, leaving 5-6 leaves per branch, and at the end of winter cut down any twigs of more than 15cm long, to just above the third bud from the base.

With a perfumed, sweet, slightly tart flavour this apple is an improvement of the 'Golden' variety. Harvesting is at the end of September/early October and fruit will keep until February, sometimes even up to May in perfect conditions. Lovely bunches of pinkish-white flowers in April. Forms a lovely little tree with a regular production from a young age.
