The tree is medium-sized, upright, with characteristic long willow-like branches. The variety is productive but prone to alternate bearing. Due to fruit formation at the ends of branches, the heavy crop load can lead to bending, lodging, or breaking of the branches.
The fruits are oblate, 4–8 cm in diameter and 70–120 g in weight. The peel is thin (2–3.5 mm), yellow-orange, with medium peelability. The flesh is orange, tender, and juicy, with a pronounced sweet taste. The variety is characterized by a large number of seeds.
The plant is a mid-late variety; fruit ripening occurs from January to March-April. It is one of the least cold-hardy varieties. It is susceptible to fungal diseases such as Alternaria brown spot and scab, but shows high resistance to chlorosis.
