Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is characterized by medium vigor, forming an open crown with drooping branches. The variety's flowering periods coincide with the flowering period of the Jonagold apple; the genetic profile of the S-locus alleles is defined as S02/S24.

The fruits have an oblate shape, a caliber size of 65–70 mm, and characteristic lenticels on the skin. The flesh is firm, crisp, and juicy, with a sweet-and-sour taste. The variety matures in early October and retains its commercial qualities when stored under standard refrigeration conditions for 5–6 months.

The variety possesses resistance to common strains of apple scab, low susceptibility to powdery mildew and woolly apple aphid, which makes it suitable for systems with minimal use of chemical protection agents.
