Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a medium-sized tree with a spreading crown, prone to branch bareness. Fruits are formed predominantly in groups on short and long thick shoots.

The fruits have a conical shape, yellow-green color with an intense red blush. The flesh is cream-colored, soft, with a sweet-tart taste. The skin is of medium thickness, becoming oily during storage.

Resistance to scab is provided by the presence of the Vf gene and additional polygenic mechanisms, which makes the variety promising for cultivation in home gardens and ecological orchards.
