Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety has a late maturity date, which occurs approximately 7 days after the Bing variety. The tree is characterized by high vigor, an upright crown habit, and early entry into the fruiting phase. The chilling requirement is approximately 750 hours.

The fruit is distinguished by its large size, round shape, and glossy dark red skin. The flesh is very firm and juicy, with a sweet taste. The variety is self-fertile, intended for fresh consumption, and has good transportability.

Under certain growing conditions, there is a risk of double fruit, however, this is compensated for by a high yield of marketable produce. In some cases, it is recommended to plant the variety together with the Royal Helen variety for cross-pollination.
