Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a traditional local variety that originated from a seedling. The first written description of the plant was recorded in 1907 in Mustiala.

The fruits of this variety are characterized by high taste qualities, which is reflected in the name, translating from the Finnish language as "Sortavala sweet". The variety is intended for fresh consumption and use in the household.

The variety is considered primarily as an object for the preservation of historical horticultural heritage. Specific data on morphometric indices of the plant, level of disease resistance, or other numerical characteristics are not detailed in available publications.
