Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree of this variety is medium-sized and compact, reaching a height of 1.2–2 meters when grown in containers. It is classified as a mid-season or mid-late variety; the fruit ripening period depends on the cultivation region.

The fruits have a thin yellow rind with a reddish tint and juicy sweet pulp with a low acid content. The variety is considered demanding in terms of care, exhibiting high sensitivity to diseases, pests, and temperature fluctuations.

The plant is widely used in commercial horticulture for producing high-quality fruit and is also valued as an ornamental crop for greenhouses and indoor cultivation due to its glossy foliage and fragrant flowers.
