Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is distinguished by high growth vigor, has a semi-open crown, and reaches a height of 3 to 5 meters. The variety is self-fertile and shows high, stable yields. The level of winter hardiness allows the plant to be grown in northern regions, however, the fruits are prone to cracking in case of excess moisture.

The fruits have a broad heart-shaped form and a weight of 9 to 15 g. The skin is glossy, dark red in color. The firm, cartilaginous flesh has a dessert taste with a sugar content of more than 16–18%. The variety is versatile in use and possesses good transportability.
