Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the CATS series and was obtained by crossing the varieties «Telamon» and «Elstar». The plant has a columnar growth type, reaching a height of 2.5–3 meters with a crown width of 20–40 cm. The variety is self-sterile and requires the presence of pollinator trees with a similar flowering period to produce a yield.

The fruits have a mass of 150–180 g, a round-flat shape, and a yellow-green color with a red blush. The flesh is cream-white, firm, juicy, with a harmonious sweet-sour taste. The fruits are suitable for long-term storage. The tree is characterized by high winter hardiness (up to -29 °C) and good disease resistance.
