Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant has moderate vigor with an upright, open canopy that can be maintained at a height of approximately 3 meters. Leaves have a yellowish-green hue during the active growth period. Female flowers have red stigmas; male catkins are pinkish-brown, and their blooming occurs late.

The variety is early-maturing; harvest begins two weeks earlier than the Barcelona variety. Small to medium-sized nuts are characterized by a high kernel percentage (51–52%) with excellent quality and a low frequency of mold infection. The variety requires cross-pollination and is compatible with such varieties as Yamhill, Wepster, York, Theta, Felix, Dorris and PollyO.
