Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a low-seeded mutation of the Fallglo hybrid. Medium-sized fruits have a deep orange-red peel color, which is characterized by a bumpy texture and relatively easy separation from the pulp. The fruit flavor is rich and sweet.

The plant belongs to the early-maturing group; fruit ripening in Florida and European conditions occurs from October to December. The variety shows resistance to Alternaria, but is susceptible to branch dieback. The fruits are capable of maintaining quality on the tree for 45 days after ripening.
