Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree has medium vigor and forms a spreading crown. The variety enters the bearing period early and is characterized by productivity, although it is prone to biennial bearing. To obtain the largest fruit, M.9, M.26 and P14 rootstocks are recommended.

The fruits are medium to large in size, broadly globose-conical in shape with weakly expressed ribbing. The skin is green-yellow, dry, with a waxy bloom and a dark red blush. The flesh is greenish, juicy and moderately firm.

The variety possesses high frost resistance. It shows genetic resistance to scab, very low susceptibility to powdery mildew and medium susceptibility to fire blight. In a conventional refrigerator, the fruits can be stored until March, and in controlled-atmosphere chambers, until June.
