Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is medium-sized, reaching a height of about 5 meters, with a medium-dense, narrow-pyramidal crown. Fruits are flattened-round-conical with thin, shiny skin. The fruit flesh is pale cream, fine-grained, tender, and juicy.

The variety is an early summer type, ripening in the second ten-day period of July. Fruits are sensitive to mechanical damage, become mealy when overripe, and have a storage life in the refrigerator of 20–25 days. The plant is characterized by medium winter hardiness but possesses high resistance to powdery mildew and brown spot.

The variety is self-incompatible and requires pollinators such as «Мелба» or «Папировка». Intensive pruning and crown thinning are necessary to ensure yield.
