Trees have moderate vigor, an upright habit, and dense foliage; small thorns may be present on young shoots. Height depends on the rootstock and growing conditions: in pots, trees reach 0.9–1.5 m; in open field, 3.5–4 m.
Fruits are medium-sized with a characteristic pear shape that tapers toward the base, with a thick, rough rind that peels relatively easily. With cross-pollination, fruits may contain from 0 to 30 seeds; in isolated plantings, they are practically seedless.
The variety is early; fruits ripen from mid-October to December. Cold tolerance is moderate; the plant requires protection at temperatures below -3...-4°C. Increased susceptibility of the variety to the citrus rust mite is noted.
