Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is of medium vigor, reaching 3.5–4 meters in height, with a rounded or broad-pyramidal crown of medium density. The variety is partially self-fertile and serves as a good pollinator for other varieties due to its long flowering period. The flowers are resistant to late spring frosts. During periods of heavy fruiting, branches may require support.

Fruits are of medium to large size, round-conical in shape with slight ribbing. The skin is thin, greenish-yellow with a red blush or stripes. The flesh is cream-colored, juicy, fine-grained, and has a sweet-and-sour taste. The variety is characterized by low transportability, fruits are prone to dropping when overripe, and the shelf life is 3–8 weeks.

The variety belongs to the summer-autumn group, with ripening occurring from August to September. When harvested early, the fruits have a more acidic taste and are suitable for culinary processing; upon full ripening, they become dessert quality. The variety is susceptible to scab, canker, and fire blight.
