Masses of pure white, cup-shaped flowers in mid and late spring, followed by juicy, soft, pale yellow dessert apples with a red flush. This upright, spreading apple tree yields a heavy crop of fruits with an excellent flavour in early September. To guarantee cross pollination plant with another variety from the same flowering group (e.g. 'Fiesta'). Suitable for colder areas.

Keep the base of the tree weed free, fertilise at the beginning of each year and water regularly during hot, dry spells. Remove damaged or crossing branches during the dormant season.
