Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is described as vigorous with a robust crown and high vitality, which is why it is recommended primarily for standard orchards. The fruits have a broad-conical, slightly irregular shape with light skin, which becomes dark red under good lighting. The flesh is juicy with a sweet-and-sour taste.

The variety belongs to autumn or late-autumn types and is used as a dessert and culinary apple. Due to its rarity, only individual trees aged 80 years and older have been preserved. In pomological sources, the variety is often considered not as unique, but as a regional synonym for well-known ancient varieties.
