Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is medium-sized; in its youth, it has a columnar shape, which becomes rounded and spreading over the years. The variety is partially self-fertile and requires the presence of pollinators to increase yield. The level of winter hardiness is medium, and a tendency toward alternate bearing is noted after 10–12 years of life.

Fruits are medium-sized, round or round-conical, having a light green or whitish-yellow color with a red striped blush. The flesh is characterized by juiciness and a sweet-and-sour taste. The storage period of the fruits is limited; they possess low transportability and are susceptible to scab.
