OTHER INFORMATION

Behavior in the nursery: slow/moderate growth resumption and rooting capacity, it tends to develop a consistent quantity of fasciculate, crown-shaped roots. In the nursery it guarantees a medium-high yield.
Behavior in the propagation block: it anticipates lignification, it develops tendentially thin branches, it guarantees average yields both when raised sprawling on the ground and on trellis.
Behavior in the open field: it contains vigor and productivity and anticipates ripening; it promotes the accumulation of sugars, anthocyanins and polyphenols. It requires clayey soils, provided they are not subject to long-lasting drought.
