Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is vigorous, forming a powerful spreading crown. The variety is triploid, which results in sterile pollen and requires cross-pollination by other varieties flowering at the same time. A tendency towards alternate bearing is noted.

The fruits are medium to large in size, often irregular and slightly ribbed in shape, with greenish-yellow skin complemented by a red blush or stripes. The flesh is yellowish, juicy, and crisp, possessing a distinct sweet-and-sour taste with a spicy aroma.

The variety is for universal use; the fruits are suitable for fresh consumption, culinary processing, and the production of juice and cider, while they maintain their shape well during heat treatment. Fruit ripening is non-simultaneous. Resistance to diseases is low.
