Mid-season fruits have a round or round-oval shape. The ground color is orange, with an intense red-purple blush on 60–80% of the surface. The flesh is orange, juicy, sweet, and aromatic, with a caliber predominantly 2A or 3A. The fruits are firm, hold well on the tree, and possess high keeping quality and transportability.
