The tree is medium-sized with a compact, spreading crown; its height is 2.5–4 meters. The variety is self-fertile and is characterized by late flowering, which reduces the risk of flower damage from spring frosts. Yield is high and regular; fruits are borne on mixed branches and spurs.
The fruits have a round-oblong or round-oval shape; the average weight is 60–80 g. The skin is orange with a red or crimson blush. The flesh is firm, juicy, and has a sweet, balanced taste. The variety has high resistance to cracking and good storage life.
The variety has high winter hardiness. Disease resistance is medium; susceptibility to Plum pox virus (Sharka) has been noted, as well as the need for prevention of Monilinia and Clasterosporium carpophilum. Fruit thinning is required to obtain high-quality fruit size.
