The tree is medium-sized, spreading, with rapid growth. In youth, thorns may be present on the branches, which disappear over time. Leaves are elongated, similar to clementine leaves.
Fruits have a rounded or slightly flattened shape, size 5–7.5 cm, and weight 100–160 g. The rind is bright orange, sometimes with a reddish hue, thin, and adheres tightly to the flesh. The flesh is dark orange, tender, and juicy, with a sweet taste and slight acidity.
Early ripening variety; fruits mature by December–January and can remain on the tree for a long time. The plant is self-incompatible; the number of seeds in fruits depends on the presence of pollinator varieties. The variety is demanding regarding rootstock selection and care; in humid climate conditions, fruits may crack.
