Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree has moderate vigor, reaching 3–3.5 m in height, the crown is prone to thickening. The variety enters into fruiting early — in the third year after planting, has a mixed type of fruiting. Harvesting usually falls in September, fruits retain consumer qualities until November.

Fruits are round-conical in shape, often with slight ribbing, 7.5–8 cm in diameter. The skin is pale yellow in color with dense red stripes. The flesh is characterized by juiciness, crispy consistency, and an aromatic sweet-and-sour taste. The variety is intended for fresh consumption.

The variety was obtained by crossing seedling PRI 14-126 with pollen of the Jonathan variety. Genetically, it is related to the Golden Delicious, Rome Beauty varieties, and the wild species Malus floribunda 821. Due to high resistance to diseases, the variety is used as a donor in breeding and is suitable for organic gardening.
