Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a mutation of the Gala group. The tree is medium-sized, with a regular bearing habit and high yields. The variety is susceptible to scab and apple tree canker.

Fruits are medium to large in size, with a caliber of 65–80 mm. The skin has an intense, uniform dark red coloration over the entire surface; the stalk is often reddish. The flesh is firm, crisp, juicy, and sweet-tasting with a distinct aroma.

The variety is early-ripening; harvesting begins 25–30 days earlier than the Golden Delicious variety. It is intended for fresh consumption; fruit thinning is required to obtain a high-quality yield.
