Record status
⚠ No measured pomological data has been published for this variety. The source carries only a brief description; there are no published figures for fruit weight, flesh-to-stone ratio, oil content, chilling requirement or self-fertility.
That does not make the variety unimportant — it makes it unmeasured. As the nameless genotypes of south-eastern Anatolia show, local varieties can beat the standards once someone measures them.
