Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the extra-early (Wase) group. In the open field, the plant reaches 2.5–3.5 meters in height, and in pot culture — from 0.6 to 1.5 meters. It is considered a clone of the «Миягава» variety.

The fruits have a weight of 120–190 g, with a round or slightly flattened shape. The peel is dark orange, 2–4 mm thick, smooth, and easily separates from the pulp. The pulp is sweet, with a sugar content reaching 19%.

The variety possesses cold resistance, allowing it to be grown in cool subtropical regions. It tolerates hot and dry climates poorly and is sensitive to intense solar radiation. The branches have a tendency to droop slightly.
