Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms a columnar crown 30–80 cm wide with short lateral shoots. Flowering occurs in May with white or pink-tinted flowers. An adult plant reaches a height of 2.5 to 4 meters.

The fruits are medium-sized, round in shape, and have yellow-green skin with a red-brown blush. The flesh is juicy and crisp, with a sweet-sour or sweet taste. The harvest ripens in September; the fruits are suitable for fresh consumption, culinary use, and drying.

The plant has good resistance to scab. The variety is self-sterile or partially self-fertile, therefore requiring the presence of other pollinator varieties for stable fruit bearing. It can be grown in private gardens, commercial orchards, and containers.
