Variety description
10 August 2026
The plant exhibits moderate growth and forms a compact or dense canopy with small oval-rounded leaves. The variety is early-maturing and characterized by high productivity.
Fruits are medium to small in size, with a weight of 150–160 grams and a diameter of 6–7 cm. Fruit shape is spherical or pear-shaped with a small neck. The rind is pale yellow in color, acquiring a pink blush under favorable conditions. The juicy flesh has a sweet taste with mild acidity; overripening decreases palatability.
The variety is susceptible to citrus dwarfing viroid, which manifests as wood pitting and gummosis. In cultivation, the variety is valued primarily as a collection specimen.
