The tree is of compact, upright habit, moderately vigorous and a spur-bearer. Good yields of medium-sized yellow apples streaked and flushed with orange-red; eaten fresh, they have a good subacid flavour, and they also cook well, the slices retaining their shape when cooked in open tarts. Some susceptibility to scab and canker, but a good all round apple. Partially self-fertile, but will crop much better with a suitable pollination partner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSite: \u003c\/b\u003eSheltered\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e Any reasonably fertile and well drained soil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePick:\u003c\/b\u003e Early October\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeep:\u003c\/b\u003e October-January\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePollination:\u003c\/b\u003e Partially self-fertile.
