Variety description

10 August 2026

Fruits are medium-sized with smooth bright yellow-green skin, sometimes with a pink blush. The creamy-white flesh is characterized by juiciness, a crisp texture, and a sweet taste with a slight acidity. The storage life of the fruits is several weeks.

The tree is compact with a spur-type bearing habit. The height depends on the rootstock and varies from 2.5 to 5 meters. The variety is suitable for amateur gardening, cultivation on trellises, or as cordons.

The variety is productive and resistant to major diseases, including scab. The variety may require a pollinator, for which the planting of other apple varieties nearby is recommended.
