Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is intended exclusively for use as a rootstock and is not designed for the production of marketable fruit. The tree is characterized by an upright and vigorous growth habit. Young leaves have a yellow-green color with weak anthocyanin pigmentation, and flowers belong to group A.

The main advantage of the variety is high resistance to root rot caused by the pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi. Trees grafted onto this rootstock demonstrate high growth vigor and the ability for abundant fruiting. The ellipsoid-shaped fruits have yellow-green flesh and smooth skin.
