Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is characterized by vigorous growth and has a spreading or drooping crown shape, reaching a height of up to 6 meters in open field. The leaves are large and dark green; fragrant white flowers are clustered or solitary.

The fruits are large, weighing from 400 to 1000 grams, with a flattened-round shape. The smooth rind is colored in shades ranging from pale yellow to golden, sometimes with a pinkish blush. The flesh is tender, fine-grained, and light pink or deep pink in color.

The variety is classified as early; fruits ripen from November to February. The taste is sweet, with a balanced acidity level. The level of seed productivity depends on the presence of cross-pollination: when isolated, fruits can be practically seedless. The crop is heat-loving and requires protection from frost.
