Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is vigorous, reaching a height of up to 6 meters. The variety is demanding in terms of growing conditions, requires fertile soils, and is susceptible to diseases and pests.

The fruits are medium to large in size, broad-conical to flattened-round, with prominent ribs. The skin is smooth, becoming oily during storage. The ground color is yellowish-green, the overcolor is dark blood-red or black-red. The flesh is white, often with pink veins or entirely colored red. A specific feature of the fruits is the large seed chamber, which may cause the seeds to rattle when shaken.

Harvest maturity occurs in September, consumer maturity lasts until December. The variety is used as a dessert apple for fresh consumption, as well as for cooking and making juices, which acquire a light red hue.
