Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree of this variety is vigorous, forming a broad spreading or pyramidal sparse crown. The variety enters fruiting 4–5 years after planting and is capable of producing 40–60 kg of yield from one mature tree. The variety is self-sterile and requires cross-pollinators with similar flowering times, genetically characterized as S3S4.

The fruits are large with a mass of 8–10 g, having a round-heart shape. The skin is yellow-cream colored with a red blush on the sunny side; the flesh is light, juicy, and firm, which ensures good transportability. The ripening period varies in different sources from medium-early to medium-late. The fruit stalk is long, and the force of fruit detachment from it is very high, which complicates mechanized harvesting.

The variety possesses good frost resistance and the ability to withstand drought periods. The plant can be affected by diseases typical for the crop, including bacterial canker, and requires appropriate care.
