Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is medium-sized, with a spreading crown and good branching. The variety is diploid and possesses high regular yields provided that ovaries are thinned. It enters the fruiting phase early.

Fruits are medium-sized, spherical or flat-spherical in shape. The ground color is yellow with a dark red washed-out blush on the majority of the surface and moderate russeting in the basin area. The flesh is cream or orange-yellow, juicy and crisp.

The variety ripens simultaneously with the Gala variety. Fruits retain their taste qualities and aroma until February-March when stored in a cellar. The plant possesses monogenic resistance to scab (Vf gene) and is characterized by low susceptibility to powdery mildew.
