Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree has good vigor, the crown is semi-open with developed branching. Fruiting occurs on all types of shoots. The variety is partially self-sterile and requires the presence of pollinators, such as the Magic Cot or Maya Cot varieties.

The fruits are oval-round, have a bright orange skin with a red blush on 40% of the surface. The flesh is distinguished by high firmness and a sugar content of about 16° Brix. The variety is resistant to cracking, enters the fruiting period quickly, and has good hanging ability on the tree.
