Small, columnar tree, 5 to 6 m tall. The young twigs are purplish brown, the older bark brown to grey-brown and smooth. The leaves emerge as bronze, turning dark green in summer. Flowers open light pink and turn pure white. At more than 6 cm across, they are strikingly big, blossoming in mid to late April. The shiny red apples are pear-shaped and remain on the tree into November. This cultivar was selected by the Belgian Department of Plant Genetics and Breeding. It has high resistance to scab and its narrow crown makes it suitable for narrower streets.
