Resistance and Origin: This is a rustic and vigorous variety, originally from France, which adapts very well to temperate climates and shows good resistance to the main diseases.
Sowing period: Sowing can be done in autumn or in late winter/early spring, preferably after adequate cold stratification of the seeds.
Harvest period: The fruits ripen early, generally between the end of May and the beginning of June, depending on local climatic conditions.
