Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree reaches 4–5 meters in the open field, while in indoor conditions, growth is limited to 1.5–2.5 meters. The crown is rounded, moderately leafy, with branches of medium thickness, sometimes with thorns. The leaves are leathery, dark green, and oval-shaped. The flowers are white, fragrant, and grow singly or in small clusters.

The fruits are spherical or elongated, weighing 170–300 g. At the apex of the fruit, there is a "navel" — an underdeveloped second fruit. The flesh is bright orange, juicy, with a sweet taste and a subtle acidity. The rind is rough, of medium thickness, and difficult to peel. The variety is early-ripening, and the fruits are almost always seedless.

The variety is sensitive to drought and excess heat during the flowering period. Cold resistance is limited; critical temperatures are around -10...-12 °C, which requires covering the plant.
