Variety description
10 August 2026
The tree of this variety is medium-sized or large, characterized by vigorous growth and a rounded crown, with no thorns on the branches. The variety shows good adaptability to various types of rootstocks, including Carrizo, Citrumelo, and Volkameriana.
The fruits are flattened in shape, reach 50–60 mm in diameter, and weigh about 90 grams. The rind is bright orange or reddish, thin, and easily removed. The juicy flesh has a balanced flavor with high sweetness.
A key feature is pollen sterility, which ensures a complete absence of seeds even with cross-pollination. The crop ripens in the period from January to April.
