It grows vigorously and bears mainly on medium-long branches at young fruit stage, and on short-medium branches at full productive age.

Its self-pollination rate was very low, therefore it is important to match pollination varieties such as Fuji, Hanfu, Gala and Shanxia, etc in production. It can begin setting fruits after planting for only three years and average productivity amounts to 20 kg per plant for five years tree. In Liaoning western area, it blooms on early May and its fruit ripens on late September, the fruit developing period is around 140 days.
