Abstract : This cultivar has no apical dominance, with around 7 new shoots arising from each main branch (from the lateral buds as well as the tip) and a short internodal length (2 cm), rendering it useful for high density planting. The yield is high, a 5-year-old plant averaging 78 fruits, weighing a total of 11.3 kg, and fruit quality is considered good.
