Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is distinguished by exceptional vigor and, in the absence of restrictions, can reach 10 meters in height. The variety is triploid, which means it cannot pollinate itself and is not suitable as a pollinator for other varieties. It enters fruiting on its own roots late, after approximately 10 years, and is prone to alternate bearing.

The variety demonstrates moderate disease resistance, possesses good resistance to powdery mildew, but can be susceptible to scab and canker. It is resistant to late spring frosts, but does not tolerate harsh winters well.

The fruits are medium to large in size, round-flattened in shape. The skin is greenish-yellow or golden with an orange-red blush, stripes, and often with russet patches. The flesh is light cream, crumbly, coarse-grained, juicy, and possesses a characteristic sweet nutty flavor.

The variety is considered dual-purpose: suitable for fresh consumption, culinary use, and cider production. When heated, the fruits lose their shape, turning into a delicate puree.
