Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is medium-sized, fast-growing, reaching a height of 2.5 to 3.5 m, with a dense spreading or pyramidal crown. The harvest period falls in late September — October.

The fruits weighing 200–300 g have a round or conical shape. The firm skin is bright green in color, sometimes with a slight blush. The flesh is light green or white-green, crisp, slightly fragrant, with a pronounced sweet-and-sour taste.

The variety is of universal use; the fruits are used fresh and for culinary processing. Frost resistance is rated as high (down to -30°C), while sensitivity to scab, powdery mildew, scald, and bitter pit of the fruit is noted.
