Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a moderately vigorous tree with brittle wood. The fruits are medium to large in size, weighing 180–280 g, and have an elongated-conical or round-conical shape. The skin color is cream-yellow with a pronounced pink-red blush.

The flesh of the fruit is creamy, crisp, juicy, and aromatic. Harvest maturity occurs in late September to early October. The variety is diploid and can serve as a pollinator for other apple trees. Resistance to scab is rated as medium or below average.

The apples have good keeping quality, retaining consumer characteristics in cold storage for up to 5–8 months. The primary use is for fresh consumption, as well as for culinary purposes.
