These fruit-bearing plants produce a cultivar known for its late-ripening characteristics and exceptional storage capabilities. The harvested product offers a complex, sweet-tart flavor profile, appealing to both fresh consumption and culinary applications. As an example, the cultivar’s fruit is often used in pies and ciders due to its concentrated flavor.
Cultivating this particular variety offers advantages such as disease resistance, particularly to scab, contributing to reduced reliance on chemical treatments. This characteristic makes it a desirable option for both commercial growers seeking to minimize input costs and home orchardists prioritizing environmentally conscious practices. Historically, interest in the cultivar has grown due to its consistent yields and prolonged shelf life, providing a reliable source of fruit throughout the winter months.
