Variety believed to originate in Germany. Featured in the 1996 Seed Savers Yearbook.

Very firm fruit weighing 100-180 grams, round to slightly flattened and ribbed at the shoulders.

Greenish to yellow in colour with a pink blush at maturity.

The main interest of this variety is its impressive shelf life, if the fruit is picked green it can be kept for 3 to 5 months as it ripens very slowly.

A compact dwarf plant with a bushy habit and rugosa foliage, which is certainly of decorative interest.

Good productivity in the second half of the season, determined growth.
