Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree has moderate growth vigor with an upright or semi-spreading crown. The variety is precocious and forms fruits on spurs. For full flowering, the tree requires a short winter dormancy period of 100 to 300 hours at temperatures below 7°C, which allows the variety to fruit in subtropical and tropical regions.

The variety is self-incompatible and requires cross-pollination; the variety Anna is recommended as a partner. The medium-sized fruits have a round or oblong shape and pale yellow skin, sometimes with a pink blush. The flesh of the fruits is crisp, firm, and sweet with a slight acidity. Due to its delicate texture, the harvest is not intended for long-term storage or transport.

The plant is sensitive to late spring frosts during the flowering period. In conditions of an overly warm climate without a proper dormancy period, the tree may show signs of being evergreen, which negatively affects the regularity of fruiting and fruit quality.
