Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is medium-sized, forming a compact crown with short, spreading branches. The variety is characterized by early entry into fruiting in the 2–4th year and high productivity with no tendency toward biennial bearing.

The variety has good keeping quality; in cold storage conditions, the fruits can be stored for up to 6 months. The variety is for universal use, suitable for industrial and organic horticulture.
