Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree in its natural state is vigorous, with a crown shape ranging from upright to spreading. Grafting onto dwarf or semi-dwarf rootstocks allows for height control. The variety is characterized by good disease resistance and some fruit resistance to cracking.

The fruits have light, tender, and juicy flesh with a pronounced sweet dessert taste. Due to their soft consistency, the fruits have low transportability and require careful handling. The variety is self-incompatible and requires cross-pollination with other sweet cherry varieties that bloom in the same period to produce a crop.
