Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is of ancient origin, presumably linked to monastic gardening. The name "Smerfenten" indicates the tendency of the fruit skin to become greasy during storage. Currently, the variety is a rare subject of biodiversity conservation; its propagation is carried out by grafting scions from old trees.

The fruits have a broadly round or round-conical shape, sometimes slightly ribbed at the stem. Harvest maturity occurs in September; the fruits are suitable for consumption until November-December. Detailed agrotechnical characteristics of the variety are absent in open publications.
