Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is characterized by a weak or medium growth type and a tendency towards a weeping crown shape. The variety enters bearing quickly and is easily thinned. The maturity period occurs approximately 10 days after the Golden Delicious variety.

The fruits have a caliber of 65 to 80 mm, dark red color with pronounced striping. The flesh is firm, juicy, with a sweet and tart taste. The harvest is stored until March under normal conditions and until June in a controlled atmosphere.

The variety has medium sensitivity to scab and is prone to bitter pit in years with low yields. Suitable pollinators include the Granny Smith, Gala, Red Delicious varieties, and certain specialized apple species.
