Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree has moderate vigor and requires regular pruning and the selection of a suitable rootstock. The variety is diploid and self-sterile, requiring pollinator varieties such as Elstar, Idared, or Pinova. It is distinguished by a low tendency for fruit drop.

Fruits are medium-sized, conical in shape, with a yellow ground color and an intense orange-red blush. The flesh is firm, juicy, medium-grained, white, and possesses a sweet-sour taste and aroma. The fruit skin may be rough.

Harvesting begins in the second half of October; consumer maturity is reached in February. Fruits are suitable for long-term storage for 6–7 months. The variety is intended for fresh consumption and processing, including juice production and baking.
