Variety description

10 August 2026

Fruits have a bright red color with stripes, sometimes with a whitish skin tint. The yellowish flesh has a firm structure, juiciness, and a distinct aroma. The variety belongs to early winter or autumn maturity groups and allows for a single-pass harvest due to uniform coloration.

Trees reach a height of 3–4.5 meters depending on the rootstock and conditions; the crown is characterized by compact growth. Fruits are capable of maintaining marketability for up to 6 months under proper storage conditions.

The variety is susceptible to scab, rust, canker, and fire blight, while showing some resistance to powdery mildew. Standard pruning and crown shaping are required to maintain productivity.
