Variety description

10 August 2026

The fruits reach 5 cm in diameter, have a round shape, and are yellow-orange in color with a red blush and russeting. The flesh is firm, crisp, and juicy. The tree is vigorous, with a spreading crown prone to weeping, reaching a height of 3 to 6 meters.

The variety is classified as an autumn cultivar; fruit ripening occurs from early September through October. The shelf life of the harvest is approximately one month. The tree possesses high winter hardiness, withstanding frosts down to -40°C, and good resistance to diseases such as scab, rust, and fire blight.

The variety is a diploid and requires cross-pollination by other apple trees during the early flowering period. The tree itself serves as an effective pollinator for other varieties. The fruit usage is universal: they are suitable for fresh consumption, culinary processing, and cider production.
