Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree of this variety is hardy and capable of withstanding temperatures down to -30°C. Flowering occurs in late April or early May, which allows avoiding damage from spring frosts. The tree height varies from 5 to 8 meters depending on the rootstock used.

The medium-sized fruits have a thick yellow-green skin, sometimes with a pink blush. The whitish-yellow flesh is firm, juicy, and features a combination of sweetness and slight acidity. The variety is versatile: it is suitable for fresh consumption, culinary use, and cider production.

Harvesting is carried out in October, however, to achieve optimal taste qualities, the fruits require storage in a cellar until December. Under normal conditions, they can be kept until March, and when stored in a controlled atmosphere — until April.
