The tree is characterized by restrained growth; its crown volume is approximately 25% smaller than that of standard varieties, which allows for its use in high-density plantings. The variety is characterized by earlier entry into fruiting compared to standard types of apple trees.
The fruits are large, conical or conical-round in shape, with cream-colored, juicy, fine-grained flesh and a spicy aroma. Harvest maturity occurs in late September to early October; the storage period for the fruits is 4–5 months.
The variety is self-infertile and requires pollinators such as Golden Delicious, Idared, or Granny Smith. It is relatively resistant to certain diseases, although it may be susceptible to bitter pit during storage.
