Breeder: Found by Glocker in Enyed, Hungary in 1868
Origin: Hungary
Blossom, pollination: Self-fertile, medium sized blossoms with white petals, long florescence in early-mid season (8 days)
Cropping: Very productive
Maturity: Early-middle (late July to beginning of August)
Fruit characteristics: Medium sized, 48-50g, round-conical shape, greenish yellow colour, luscious yellow when ripe,
on the sunny side red to dark red (spotted or covered), orange to red-orange and firm flesh, juicy, does not get floury,
very good and aromatic taste, sweet and sourly, slightly bitter kernel, sugar content 8.6%,
good handling and storage abilities, gelatinises easily and is therefore one of the best apricots for preserves
Tree habit: Small and broad treetops with slightly drooping branches, in the beginning strong and later medium vigour, healthy
Susceptibilities: Winter-hardy and resistant against frosts during blossoming
Genetic characterisation:
To elucidate the genetic relationship among apricot
cultivars, a dendrogram generated from the UPGMA cluster analysis
was produced
(Dendrogram).
