Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is vigorous and vining, with vine lengths reaching 1.8–2.7 m. The fruits are pear-shaped with smooth skin that turns cream-beige upon ripening. The bright orange flesh is dense, with a buttery consistency and no pronounced fibrousness.

The maturity period is 90–120 days. Fruit weight typically varies from 0.6 to 3 kg, sometimes reaching 4–6 kg. The variety is resistant to hot, humid weather and certain pests. The fruits have a pronounced sweet nutty flavor and are suitable for long-term storage.

The variety is versatile in culinary use: suitable for soups, purees, baking, desserts, and marmalade. The small size of the fruits is convenient for home consumption.
