Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a compact tree with moderate growth and a spreading crown; small thorns may be present on the branches. The plant is a triploid hybrid, which ensures pollen sterility and seedlessness in the fruits.

Mid-season fruits have a flattened shape and an average weight of 200–230 g. The peel is deep orange in color, slightly pebbled, and easy to remove. The flesh is juicy, fine-grained, and sweet in taste; as it matures, it acquires a rich orange color with anthocyanin pigmentation.

Harvesting occurs from the end of November to January. The fruits hold well on the branches and are not prone to drying out. Yield control is required to maintain fruit size and reduce alternate bearing, and an excess of fertilizers can provoke leaf drop.
