Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is vigorous, forming a broadly rounded, often dense crown. The variety is considered hardy, with strong wood and good winter hardiness. Fruiting begins relatively early; yields are regular and abundant. The variety is self-sterile and requires pollinators.

Fruits are large or very large, wide heart-shaped. The skin is firm, bright yellow in color, with a light red blush appearing on the sunny side when fully ripe. The flesh is light yellow, cartilaginous and moderately juicy, with a sweet taste with a slight spiciness and moderate acidity.

Fruit ripening occurs in the 5th cherry week, usually in early or mid-July. The variety has medium or good resistance to cracking and fair transportability.
