Hardiness and Origin: An ancient and robust variety, known for its adaptability to temperate climates and the excellent shelf life of its fruit. Its origins date back to 18th-century France, although it is often associated with Canada due to its widespread distribution.
Sowing time: Preferably in autumn for natural stratification of the seeds, or in late spring after adequate artificial stratification.
Harvest period: Optimal ripening occurs between late September and early October.
Optimal conditions for germination: Requires a period of cold stratification (vernalization) to break seed dormancy, typically 60-90 days at temperatures between 2°C and 5°C in a moist substrate.

Germination times: After the stratification period, germination may take 2-4 weeks under ideal temperature conditions (18-22°C).
Pot or open ground cultivation: Open ground cultivation is recommended for the tree's full development and production. Pot cultivation is only possible during the early stages of growth, requiring subsequent transplanting.
