Variety description

10 August 2026

Trees of this group are medium-sized; when using appropriate rootstocks, their height is 3–4 meters. Fruits have an average weight of 140 to 180 grams and are distinguished by a rich dark-red or dark-purple blush, which often covers almost the entire surface of the apple.

In terms of maturity, the group belongs to autumn or early winter varieties, with harvest maturity occurring in September. The fruit flesh is cream-colored, firm, crisp, and juicy, possessing a sweet taste with a slight acidity. The fruits are characterized by good transportability, and the trees require crown formation and fruit thinning.
