3 Harvest calendar: Carmen* PE2UNIBO* (Early Giulia TM ) PE1UNIBO* (Lucy Sweet TM ) PE3UNIBO* (Green Debby TM ) Bartlett PE4UNIBO* (Lucy Red TM ) Abate Fétel July August September 10

4 Harvest date: last decade of July-early August (10 days before William). Tree: Medium-high vigor, compatible with quince. High and constant yield. Bearing habit like Abbè Fétel mainly on 2 years old branch. Very dwarfing rootstocks like Quince C can reduce fruit size. Fruit: Medium size ( g) and pyriform shape, Green skin, even at ripening, with slight russet, under conditions of high humidity russet can increase. Melting flesh and juicy, fine texture Very good flavour and sweetness Edible also crunchy due to the high level of sugar Storability: about 7 months in cold room at -1 C with no treatments against internal browning.
