Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is of medium vigor, with a broad, pyramidal, and spreading crown. Shoots are strong and resilient, with a minimal number of thorns or none at all. Leaves are dark green, oval-lanceolate in shape, and small in size with a pointed tip.

Fruits have an oblong-oval shape and a mass of 100 to 220 g; their surface is dense and almost smooth. The light yellow pulp is characterized by a delicate fine-grained structure, high juiciness, and low seed content.

The variety is early-bearing and begins to produce a crop 2–3 years after planting, with the main harvest occurring in the winter period. The plant exhibits heat and drought tolerance, as well as relative endurance to low temperatures, although it requires protection from frost.

The variety is used as a table lemon for fresh consumption and the preparation of juices and beverages. Due to its compact size and low-maintenance nature, it is well-suited for domestic conditions and protected cultivation.
