Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree has medium vigor with a semi-erect or spreading crown. Height depends on the rootstock and can range from 5 to 8 meters. The variety is characterized by winter hardiness, withstanding frosts down to -25...-30°C, and good resistance to diseases, in particular to scab, although the fruit skin is sensitive to scald.

Fruits are medium-sized, round, slightly flattened or elongated in shape, with yellow-green skin, often with an orange tint, blush, and spots. The flesh is white or cream, firm, juicy, with an aromatic sweet-tart taste. The variety is characterized as mid-late; the harvest is collected in October, the fruits require a ripening period in storage and are suitable for consumption from December–January, maintaining keeping quality for 3–4 months.

The variety has a multipurpose use: fruits are suitable for fresh consumption, culinary processing, and cider production. To maintain regular yields, fruit thinning is required.
