Ortet is a tree estimated to be 20 years old, found growing on the grounds of a senior center in Switzerland, where it bears fruit regularly.
 | Update | 2024-09-02 20:51:18 | Fruit continuing to develop. |
 | Fruit developing | 2024-07-19 01:41:32 | This is the only fruit left in the entire greenhouse. |
 | Graft success | 2024-07-05 05:37:11 | The first outdoor graft of this variety has apparently succeeded |
 | One fruit remains | 2024-06-27 06:15:14 | Hopefully it doesn't abort this summer! |
 | Update | 2024-04-24 19:26:30 | Almost finished flowering (maybe half a dozen unopened buds left). Vegetative flush is getting started now. |
 | First open flower | 2024-04-16 23:11:55 | Interesting that it has the same pink hue to the style that I've only seen in Duke so far. This should help identify if the ortet in Brissago is the same as another named variety. |
 | New graft | 2024-04-01 15:20:09 | Added a graft of this on a tree I recently planted out. |
 | Flowering update | 2024-03-26 19:44:05 | Flowers getting close to opening. Maybe within a couple weeks? |
 | Update | 2024-03-02 07:03:19 | Definitely a few flower buds. I like that the flower buds have a slightly pink tinge. That should help to identify whether it is the same as Wilma, as I'm starting to suspect. |
 | Bud update | 2024-02-05 22:45:07 | Just starting bud swell, no sign of flowers yet. |
