Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is medium-sized, reaching a height of 2–4.5 meters, and forms a broad spreading crown. The variety is mid-season, enters fruiting in the 2nd–4th year after planting, and fruits ripen in late September — October.

The fruits are large, weighing 230–300 g, apple-shaped, flattened-spherical or broadly pear-shaped, often weakly ribbed. The skin is golden-yellow, sometimes with an orange hue, covered with fuzz. The flesh is cream or light yellow, medium-dense, with a sweet-sour taste and a pronounced aroma.

The variety is self-fertile, with winter hardiness down to -30...-35 °C. It possesses good disease resistance. It is used universally: in thermally processed form, for processing into jam, candied fruits, juices, and also in cooking.
