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.

Read detailed description :

Even from a young age, this tree will give a regular production. Lots of fruit will be harvested in October and will keep until the end of December, sometimes even up to March in perfect conditions. They are large and round, with a yellow skin that will tint red on the side facing the sun. Delicate flesh, relatively crisp, tender, sweet and slightly tangy. Good raw or cooked.
