Murina®

Description

Murcott mutation obtained in the IVIA from the irradiation of buds. The tree is of medium vigor, with small spines, it branches a lot. The viability of pollen is very low, being the variety self-compatible. Very sweet variety, with very few seeds, with thin skin, is sensitive to the cracking of the fruit at the end of summer and the alternaria fungus (similar to Nova). It requires careful handling after harvesting, to prevent the bark from drying out. It should be grafted on vigorous pattern or intermediate wood of vigorous variety, grafted on Citrumelo there are hints of possible incompatibility. The variety has alternation in the harvests.
