Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is vigorous, reaching 6 meters in height with proper pruning. Flowering is early, occurring in late March or early April, which creates a risk of damage from spring frosts. Harvesting takes place in June or early July.

The fruits are medium to large in size and have a characteristic heart-like shape. The skin is glossy, light red in color, sometimes with speckles on a yellowish background. The flesh is yellow, firm, crunchy, juicy, and sweet, with a slight tartness and aroma.

The variety has winter hardiness down to -20°C, but is susceptible to Monilinia and leaf spot. The fruits are sensitive to rain and prone to cracking. The variety is self-sterile and requires the presence of pollinator trees, such as Napoleon or Burlat.
