Read detailed description :

An old variety, well known since the 19th century. Very frutiferous and rustic. Every spring, in April-May, it is covered with simple pink-white flowers of 3.5 to 4.5cm in diameter, coming after pink buds. The superb orange-yellow apples turn red in the sun. Oval and long, about 3 to 4cm, they appear in abundance as early as September and stay on the tree until the start of winter.
