Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree is vigorous, reaching 4.5–6 meters in height. The crown is broad, ranging from spreading to obovate, of medium density. The variety is self-incompatible and requires the presence of pollinator trees that bloom at the same time.

Fruits are large, weighing from 7.7 to 13 g, round-heart-shaped. At full maturity, the skin acquires a dark red or violet-black color with characteristic light spots. The flesh is firm, juicy, with a sweet taste and an almond aftertaste.

The variety is late-maturing, with ripening occurring from the second half of June to the beginning of July. It possesses winter hardiness down to –25...–28 °C, belonging to USDA zones 5–6. Sensitivity to gray mold is noted; resistance to fruit cracking in rainy weather is assessed as ambiguous.
