Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree has medium-strong vigor, with an upright or semi-upright canopy. The variety is suitable for intensive orchards and training systems such as "vertical axis," "vase," "UFO," or "KGB." It enters fruit-bearing in the 3rd–4th year.

The fruits have a round shape and bright dark-red skin. The flesh is pink, sweet, with low acid content and medium firmness. The variety ripens 2–4 days before the Burlat variety.

The variety is self-fertile. It requires preventive treatments against Monilinia and Coccomyces.
