Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is a large shrub or small tree 3–7 meters tall with a rounded crown, often growing with multiple trunks. Leaves are large, heart-shaped, and characterized by resistance to sunscald when grown in full sun.

Flowering occurs in early spring on leafless shoots. The variety is capable of setting flower buds on annual shoots. The plant possesses some resistance to drought and air pollution, however, it is sensitive to waterlogged soils and tolerates transplanting poorly due to a taproot system.
