Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is characterized as compact or moderately vigorous depending on the rootstock, reaching 3–5 meters. The variety is partially self-fertile and exhibits good winter hardiness, as well as resistance to late spring frosts.

Fruits are of medium size, having a round-conical shape. The Falstaff variety has a yellow skin with a red blush, while the Red Falstaff mutation is distinguished by a more saturated red color. The flesh is cream-white, crisp and juicy, with a balanced sweet-sour taste.

Harvesting takes place in September-October; fruits maintain quality until January and longer. The variety has good general disease resistance, however, it may show susceptibility to scab.
