Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is distinguished by very strong growth vigor and a drooping crown type. The leaves are dark green, with a truncate base and an acuminate apex. Flower buds are formed on both spurs and one-year-old shoots; flower petals have a rounded shape.

The fruits are small to medium in size, oval in shape when viewed from the side and elliptical from the side of the ventral suture. The fruit surface is bright orange with an intense red blush covering 30 to 50% of the area. The fruit apex is truncate, without a characteristic tip. The flesh is juicy and firm, the taste is sweet, and the seed kernel is not bitter.

The variety belongs to the mid-late ripening group. The tree is characterized by high growth vigor, which distinguishes it from a number of other varieties. This variety is intended for commercial fruit growing.
