Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is classified as mid-late, with fruit ripening occurring in October. The tree height can vary from 6 to 10 meters, and the variety demonstrates good vigor. The fruits are characterized by a large size, glossy surface, and red-brown color. The kernel has a pleasant taste and sweet aroma, and the shell separates easily.

The plant is partially self-fertile; for higher yields, planting together with pollinator varieties is recommended. The variety shows relative resistance to root rot but is susceptible to the chestnut gall wasp. The fruits are suitable for fresh consumption and culinary processing, and the tree is also a honey plant.
