Variety description

10 August 2026

Mid-season maturity variety, the harvest period follows the Big Red variety and precedes Kioto. The tree is characterized by early entry into fruiting and mid-late flowering. The pollination type is cross-pollination; the variety belongs to incompatibility group VIII (S6S9) and is incompatible with the Orangered variety.

Fruits are large, orange-red in color, and have firm flesh with a balanced taste. In the conditions of the Czech Republic, high sensitivity of the variety to apoplexy, i.e., sudden tree wilting, was noted.
