Fruits are medium-sized, conical in shape. The main color of the skin is greenish-yellow with a bright red blush and distinct intermittent dark stripes. The creamy flesh is characterized by high juiciness and a sweet taste with a slight tart undertone. The harvest is ready for picking in October; fruits can be stored in a refrigerator for up to four months.
