Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree has medium vigor and an upright crown shape, reaching a height of 1 to 4 meters. The variety is late-winter: the consumption period for the fruits lasts from December to February; with proper storage, they maintain quality until April.

The fruits have a round, flattened, and somewhat irregular shape, often with pronounced ribbing, and reach a weight of about 300 g. Upon ripening in the sun, the skin acquires a yellow-pink hue with characteristic russet spots. The fruit flesh is white or yellowish, aromatic, crisp, with moderate sweetness and pronounced acidity.

The variety is intended for fresh consumption and culinary processing. The plant is noted for its susceptibility to codling moth infestation.
