Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant reaches a height of 2.7 to 4 meters. The leaves are heart-shaped, the color varies from dark to light green, and in autumn the foliage turns a yellow shade. Flowering occurs in March–April before the leaves emerge; flowers densely cover the branches and trunks.

The variety is thermophilic and heat-tolerant, and tolerates drought. Frost resistance is up to -19°C. The plant adapts well to various soil types provided there is good drainage; it tolerates waterlogging poorly. The variety is characterized by low maintenance requirements and limited fruit production.
