Variety description

10 August 2026

Trees of this variety are vigorous, reaching 5–10 meters in height and forming a broad-pyramidal or broadly oval crown of medium density. Fruit bearing begins 4–6 years after planting; potential yield is high.

Fruits have a weight of 7 to 13 g, and their shape varies from blunt-heart-shaped to broadly-round-heart-shaped. The flesh is firm, juicy, and sweet, with an almond aftertaste. The variety is self-incompatible and requires pollinators for fruit set.

The variety possesses medium to good winter hardiness and satisfactory resistance to fungal diseases. Fruits are prone to cracking during periods of excess moisture from rain, but they tolerate transportation well and are suitable for various types of processing.
