Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is the result of crossing hybrids (Van × Stella) × (Bing × Stella). The tree is characterized by vigorous growth and a spreading crown. The variety is self-fertile, which simplifies cultivation in orchards.

The ripening period occurs 12–16 days later than the Van variety. The fruits are kidney-shaped, with skin color ranging from dark red to black. The flesh is dark red, sweet in taste, and features high firmness, which contributes to good transportability and storage.

The variety possesses increased resistance to fruit cracking compared to many other varieties. Under extreme high temperatures during the ripening period, the fruits may lose density, becoming excessively soft.
