description
The tree is strong- growing with a broad crown . Due to the early flowering , the variety is very susceptible to late frost and therefore only suitable for particularly warm and protected locations.

The intense yellow flesh is firm and juicy and tastes aromatic. The fruit does not become floury. The stone is large and dissolves well. Maturity: late July to early August.
