'Pinova' has a high fruit yield, with little tendency towards biennial bearing;[2]: 19 it has good resistance to scab and is a good pollenizer for many varieties.[2]: 19 The fruit stores well. It is juicy and crisp,[4] and has some of the taste of Cox's, the coloration of Oldenburg and the shape of 'Golden Delicious'.[2] The fruit is picked early in October.[4]
'Pinova' is planted commercially in Europe. In the United States it is patented,[2] and may be sold under the brand-name "Piñata".
