Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a bud mutation of the Imperial Gala variety. The tree has medium vigor and is characterized by early bearing and good, stable yields with a low tendency toward alternate bearing.

The fruits are completely covered with an intense red blush with pronounced red stripes and visible star-shaped lenticels. The flesh is crisp, juicy, sweet, and highly aromatic.

The variety belongs to early-coloring types, which allows for harvesting in a compressed timeframe. The fruits are suitable for long-term storage: until December in regular cold storage and until March under controlled atmosphere conditions. The variety is susceptible to scab and European canker.
