Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a vigorous tree with a spreading crown type. Due to the plant's triploidy, the presence of two pollinator varieties is necessary for regular bearing. The tree is characterized by late flowering, which increases resistance to spring frosts.

Fruits are of medium or medium-to-large size with a round, slightly flattened shape. The skin is golden-yellow with an orange-red blush and stripes, often with areas of russeting. The flesh is cream-colored, juicy, with an intense sweet flavor and aroma. When stored under cold conditions, the fruits maintain quality for up to four months.

The variety shows susceptibility to canker and a tendency to develop bitter pit in the fruits. The use of dwarfing rootstocks is recommended. In hot climates, the variety is not recommended for cultivation due to the risk of fruit sunburn and deterioration of flesh texture.
