Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is the result of hybridization of the GoldRush (Coop 38) and Pristine varieties. The tree has medium vigor; the use of dwarf rootstocks is recommended. Flowering occurs at medium to late times, which provides resistance to spring frosts.

The fruits are large, round, slightly flattened, and yellow in color. The flesh is firm, crisp, juicy, sweet-tasting with a slight acidity and a distinct aroma. The harvest ripens in early to mid-September, approximately 10–15 days earlier than the Gala variety. The storage life in a standard refrigerator is about 1–1.5 months.

The variety is precocious and characterized by good and regular yields with a low tendency toward biennial bearing. Golden Delicious, Gala, Crimson Crisp, Golden Orange, and Golden Gem are recommended as pollinizers.
