Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is characterized by vigorous growth, upright branches, and a medium-sized rounded crown. Young plants may have thorns. The variety shows moderate frost resistance down to -1°C, while a tendency toward alternate bearing is a characteristic feature.

The fruits are medium-sized, oblate in shape, without a neck, and have a characteristic bumpy rind texture that peels easily from the flesh. The flesh is very juicy and sweet, with high sugar content; the fruits are almost completely seedless. The uneven surface of the rind requires careful handling during harvesting and packing.
