Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is moderately vigorous, reaching a height of 2.5 to 5 meters, with a vertically spreading crown. The variety is precocious, beginning to bear fruit in the 4th year. Partially self-fertile, it requires the presence of pollinator varieties from group D. Winter hardiness is rated as medium.

Fruits are medium to large, round-conical in shape, sometimes slightly ribbed. The ground color is yellow with an intense orange-red blush in the form of stripes and specks. The flesh is cream-yellow, firm, crisp, and juicy, possessing a rich sweet taste and spicy aroma.

The variety is classified as late summer or early winter, with harvest dates falling in the period from late August to mid-October. Fruits are suitable for storage for up to 3–4 months in a refrigerator. The variety shows relative resistance to scab and powdery mildew, but can be susceptible to fruit tree canker.
