Arrufatina

Description

Mutation of the Clemenules variety to have originated in Vila-real (Castellón). The tree is medium in vigour and slightly flat, with sloping branches and dark green foliage. Some thorns may be found and many multi-bud galls. Flowering may be staggered over time Medium pollen viability. Parthenocarpic and self-incompatible variety.

The variety is highly productive with fruit of a good size that quickly enters into production. Early harvest (approximately October-November), internal ripening reached quickly, however external coloration is a month later, which means de-greening is required for an early harvest in most cases (which is normally successful). A good variety for regions with an early harvest.

Vulnerable to pitting. Re-grafting the variety may mean that development of the new variety is scant.
